Salvador Dalí - Divine Comedy Woodcut Print

This item is a woodcut engraving on paper by the Spanish Surrealist master Salvador Dalí, specifically from his 'Divine Comedy' suite (Purgatory Canto 25: The Lascivious). The artwork features two figures rendered in a fluid, ethereal style with a palette dominated by sanguine terracotta reds and cool cerulean blues. The composition shows the characteristic 'melting' forms and delicate line work associated with Dalí's mid-20th-century period (c. 1960-1964). The piece is professionally housed in a lavish, wide gold-leaf finished wooden frame with a subtle mottled texture. It is double-matted with a tan outer mat and a thin dark inner lip that complements the artwork's tones. The print appears to be in good overall condition with no visible foxing, tears, or water damage, though there is a slight reflection on the glass indicating it is not museum-grade anti-reflective glazing. The print is characteristic of the 100 woodcuts produced by Jean Néret and Raymond Jacquet for an anniversary edition of Dante Alighieri's poem. Due to the high volume of forgeries in the Dalí market, physical inspection for a signature or publisher watermark (such as B.F.K. Rives) is necessary for full authentication.
