I'm not a huge fan of Dali, though I much respect his work and even own a book on technique by him. But I'd forgotten that painting.

I'm not religious at all, but that painting is truly spiritual, mystical even. I think it must be his greatest work by far. What an inspiration, both artistically and religiously.

Dali is a guy who understood the classical painting methods, and swam against the stream by using them in the 20th century. Weirdly, my wife owns a watch which she sometimes wears in the shape of Dalis famous melting watches. It is kind of cute.

Dali....understood the classical painting methods, and swam against the stream by using them in the 20th century.

Dali's juxtapositon of style and subject were exquisitly detailed---he worked on some of these huge canvases for months.
