The Madonna of Port Lligat, 1950 by Salvador Dali #348454131
Description
In 1950, Dali painted a second and final version of The Madonna of Port Lligat, an immense painting that he regarded as his greatest work to date. The work was painted on such a colossal scale that it took the artist five months to complete and, when the work was shipped to New York for its debut exhibition in November 1950, it was too large to fit on the elevator or stairs and had to be hoisted by ropes to the sixth-floor Carstairs Gallery.
