Velasquez - Les ménines (from the Changes in Great Masterpieces portfolio)
1974
Dalí's interpretation of Velazquez's Las Meninas comes from his Changes in Great Masterpieces portfolio and represents his surrealist approach to one of art history's most significant compositions. Executed as an offset lithograph on Rives paper in 1974, the work demonstrates Dalí's obsessive engagement with this masterpiece throughout his career. The print transforms Velazquez's spatial complexity and psychological depth into Dalí's signature dreamlike imagery and distorted perspectives. Dalí's multiple meditations on this painting reflect his belief in the creative potential of reinterpreting canonical works. The lithograph captures both reverence for the original and complete formal reimagining.
