Salvador Dali Born: 1904 - Figueras, Spain Died: 1989 - Figueras, Spain Name variants: Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí Y Domenech, Salvador Dali Domenech Le Combat avec Morhoult from Tristan et Iseult" refers to a famous artwork by Salvador Dalí, depicting a scene from the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde where Tristan battles the knight Morhoult; essentially, it translates to "The Battle with Morhoult from Tristan and Isolde" in English. Subject matter: The work draws inspiration from the epic love story of Tristan and Isolde, where Tristan, a knight, must fight a formidable opponent named Morhoult to prove his worth and win the hand of Isolde. Artist: Salvador Dalí, renowned for his surrealist style, created this piece using a color etching technique. Interpretation: The artwork often features distorted and dreamlike imagery, characteristic of Dalí's style, while capturing the intensity and drama of the battle scene. Salvador Dalí was one of the greatest exponents of the surrealist movement. His work greatly influenced the course of surrealism during the twenties and thirties, being acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, an essential combination of the real with the imaginary. During his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who regularly traveled to Paris. Following Pichot's advice, Dalí began to study painting with Juan Núñez. In 1922, Dalí stayed at the famous Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid to begin studying Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy. However, before his final exams in 1926, he was expelled for claiming that there was no one there fit to examine him. That same year Dalí traveled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established some formal characteristics that would become distinctive of all his work from then on. During this period, Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the surrealist group based in the Parisian neighborhood of Montparnasse. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to art dealer Julian Levy. As a result of his first individual exhibition in New York, his international projection was definitively consolidated, and since then he has been showing his work and giving lectures all over the world. Most of his production is gathered in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) or the Dalí Universe in London.
