​A genius of the 20th century art world
​
Salvador Dalí was always much more than one of Surrealism's leading figures. A painter, a designer, an engraver and a sculptor as well as a writer and a set designer, Dalí is one of the undisputed geniuses of the twentieth century art world. A virtuoso gifted with dazzling skills and technique, Dalí was a masterly engraver.
The pièce de résistance of the exhibition are the illustrations of Dante's Divina Commedia. Commissioned in 1957 and completed in 1968, this is a grandiose depiction of the poem.
The amount of work needed to produce these 100 woodcuts is truly staggering: every illustration requires as many as 35 colours and a total of 3,000 woodcuts is employed. The book also includes an original drawing by Dalì.
