Salvador Dalí and his oil painting "Santiago El Grande", featuring a rearing white horse with St. James of Compostela, the patron saint of Spain, on its back. Portlligat, Cadaqués, 1957.
In his studio in Portlligat, Cadaqués, Salvador Dalí stands in profile, intently working on his monumental oil painting, "Santiago El Grande." With a palette tucked under his left arm, he applies his paintbrush to the massive canvas, which depicts St. James of Compostela—the patron saint of Spain—on a powerful, rearing white horse. The surrealist scene is rendered from a dramatic low-angle perspective, as if the horse and rider are ascending into a domed, architectural space defined by radiating arches. 1957.
