Salvador Dalí Woodcut from the Divine Comedy series
This item is a framed woodcut print on paper, identified as a piece from Salvador Dalí's renowned 'Divine Comedy' series, specifically depicting the 'The Centaur' from Purgatory Canto 25. The artwork features a muscular, abstracted human-centaur figure rendered in muted tones of grey, ochre, and brown, with distinct red circular line work tracing the musculature. The composition includes a shadowy black silhouette in the background and a smaller brownish figure in the lower-left foreground. The print appears to be house-framed with a cream-white fabric mat and a thin gold-toned wooden or metallic frame. A facsimile or hand-rendered 'Dalí' signature is visible in the lower right margin within the plate mark or just outside it. The paper shows slight edge irregularity typical of high-quality artist paper from the mid-20th century. The overall condition looks good, though the work is viewed through glazing which reflects ambient light. This series was originally commissioned in the early 1950s and published in the 1960s. The craftsmanship is indicative of Dalí's Surrealist style during his 'Nuclear Mysticism' period, characterized by meticulous draftsmanship blended with ethereal, overlapping forms.
