Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - Couronnement du Roi d’Espagne

Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) “Couronnement du Roi d’Espagne” (Coronation of the King of Spain) – after the original work engraving on paper Sheet size: approx. 56 × 76 cm (varies slightly by edition) Edition: typically numbered (e.g. /350) Signed in plate or hand-signed depending on issue This striking print after Salvador Dalí’s “Couronnement du Roi d’Espagne” reflects the artist’s enduring fascination with Spanish history, monarchy, and ritual—recurring themes throughout his oeuvre. Executed in Dalí’s unmistakable surrealist style, the composition presents a theatrical and highly detailed coronation scene, blending historical reference with dreamlike distortion and symbolic imagery. The work is characterised by intricate linework and finely rendered figures, demonstrating Dalí’s exceptional draughtsmanship. Architectural elements, ceremonial figures, and surreal distortions coexist within the composition, creating a layered visual narrative that oscillates between reality and imagination. This interplay between classical subject matter and surrealist interpretation is a defining feature of Dalí’s graphic work from this period. Produced as a heliogravure/engraving, the print captures the precision and tonal richness of the original composition. Editions of this work were typically issued in limited runs (commonly around 350 impressions), often numbered and sometimes signed, further enhancing their collectibility. () Condition: Good overall condition, with signs of age and handling consistent with the medium and period. Any minor imperfections are in line with works from this edition. Please refer to images for a complete condition overview. A compelling example of Dalí’s exploration of history through the lens of surrealism, “Couronnement du Roi d’Espagne” offers collectors an intricate and highly evocative work by one of the 20th century’s most iconic artists.
