Large Surrealist Textile Panel By Salvador Dalí Depicting Lions, 180 × 140 Cm
Artist: Dali
An imposing textile work by Salvador Dalí (1904–1989), featuring an enigmatic and characteristic surrealist composition with two monumental lions, a female figure, and a distant architectural landscape.
The composition unfolds in a vast, dreamlike space dominated by two reclining lions facing each other. In the foreground, a mysterious female figure, seen from behind and dressed in a voluminous coral-red gown, advances toward the animals while holding a slender stem or a flower.
Beyond the lions stands the silhouette of a fantastical fortified city, while vanishing perspective lines draw the eye toward the distant horizon. Dalí subverts the conventions of landscape painting by incorporating floating forms, sweeping linear elements, and seemingly spontaneous graphic interventions in the sky, thereby creating the impression of an imaginary world suspended between reality and dream.
The striking contrast in scale between the woman, the gigantic animals, and the distant architecture is particularly characteristic of Dalí’s surrealist visual vocabulary; he transforms a seemingly recognizable landscape into an enigmatic psychological space.
Created as a woven textile, the work transposes the finesse of Dalí’s drawing and graphic language into a richly textured decorative medium. The understated background contrasts beautifully with the warm, golden tones of the lions as well as with the central figure’s vibrant coral-red dress.
The composition bears Salvador Dalí’s signature in the lower right corner.
With its exceptional dimensions of 180 × 140 cm, this textile has a remarkable presence on the wall and stands out both as a surrealist work of art and as a large-scale decorative textile piece.
An exceptional masterpiece combining Dalí’s distinctive dreamlike imagery, monumental animal symbolism, theatrical perspective, and fantastical architecture.
