Product description
The artwork "Filius Prodigus" was created in 1964 by the renowned artist Salvador Dalí. Part of the "De Biblia Sacra" series, this religious painting embodies the stylistic elements of Expressionism and Symbolism. Dalí, known for his extraordinary contributions to the Surrealist movement, imbues this work with a poignant expression and symbolic resonance that reflect the religious narrative it represents.
The artwork illustrates a scene that seems to capture a moment of intense emotion and spiritual depth, in keeping with the biblical themes Dalí frequently explored. It depicts two figures that contrast sharply in color and brightness. The figure on the right is rendered in a warm, almost translucent brown, with flowing contours that convey a sense of decay or sorrow. This ephemeral quality suggests deep suffering or exhaustion, possibly alluding to a state of repentance or spiritual exhaustion, which corresponds to the story of the prodigal son.
This lithograph is part of the Biblia Sacra, illustrated by Salvador Dalí and published by Rizzoli, Milan in 1967.
