— In Rome and Cadaqués, Dalí unites two worlds that shaped his imagination — the grandeur of classical Rome and the serenity of his Catalan homeland. The artwork is composed with delicate precision, evoking the timeless beauty of Mediterranean architecture and landscape. Its light, fluid lines create an atmosphere of quiet contemplation, where history and memory intertwine.
The figures on horseback introduce a sense of motion and narrative, recalling the chivalric spirit often found in Dalí’s works. They seem to wander between eras, bridging myth and modernity, art and life. The distant horizon and calm sky lend the composition a dreamlike balance, revealing Dalí’s enduring fascination with perspective and spatial harmony. This piece stands as a poetic homage to place and identity — a meeting of the eternal and the personal, rendered with the elegance and restraint of a master draftsman.
Salvador Dali is best known for his surrealist paintings that merge dream imagery, precise realism, and symbolic content. Dali's flamboyant personality and prolific imagination made him a cultural icon as well as a leading voice in 20th-century art.
