The Song of Songs of King Solomon (M. & L. 468-479)
Salvador Dalí's "The Song of Songs of King Solomon" is a series of twelve signed and numbered etchings that illustrate the biblical text through the artist's characteristic surrealist vocabulary. Created for Leon Amiel Publishers in New York, this deluxe edition was produced in multiple variants including Japan paper, Arches paper, and parchment, demonstrating the print's status as a prestigious collector's item. The work exemplifies Dalí's ability to transform classical literary subject matter into dreamlike visual narratives populated with his distinctive melting forms and enigmatic imagery.
