Dalí's 1979 Limited Edition Bas Relief Sculpture, Don Quixote
This magnificent 1979 original bronze bas-relief sculpture captures Salvador Dalí’s profound, lifelong fascination with Miguel de Cervantes’ immortal knight-errant, Don Quixote. For Dalí, the legendary figure of Quixote served as a creative muse, embodying themes of visionary idealism, beautiful madness, and heroic folly that resonated perfectly with his own self-induced personality. This finely-framed bronze was released as part of an elite, highly collectible edition published by Martin Lawrence Limited Editions, the casting features an exceptional three-dimensional depth, allowing the striking, dynamic form of the knight to dramatically project outward at the viewer. The work is meticulously hand-finished with a rich patina, featuring Dalí’s impressed signature in the mold at the lower right and its incised limited edition numbering out of 215 on the lower left. This scarce edition represents a premier acquisition for serious collectors.
