Le chevalier de la mort 1934

"Le chevalier de la mort" (1934) by Salvador Dalí exemplifies the artist's signature Surrealist style. The painting features a distorted, dreamlike scene with a figure kneeling and holding a sphere, possibly representing the world, while mounted on a white horse. In the background, a shrouded figure stands in a desolate landscape. This unsettling imagery reflects Dalí's fascination with the subconscious, death, and the irrational, hallmarks of Surrealism. The painting's unsettling nature and vivid colours contribute to its enduring popularity among art enthusiasts and critics alike.
