Salvador Dalí’s oil painting Santiago El Grande, featuring a rearing white horse with St. James of Compostela, the patron saint of Spain, on its back. Now at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton, Canada. Port Lligat, Cadaques 1957.
In his Port Lligat studio in 1957, Salvador Dalí, recognizable by his signature upturned mustache, stands with a paintbrush, gesturing toward his monumental canvas, *Santiago El Grande*. The enormous painting, rendered in dramatic perspective, depicts St. James of Compostela, the patron saint of Spain, on a powerful, rearing white horse. Above them, a figure of Christ on the cross is suspended against soaring, cathedral-like architectural arches. The finished work is now in the collection of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, Canada.
