AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) (after)
Original rare medallion, great opportunity for purchase one original 24 carat gold finished, solid silver. Salvador Dali medallion.
ca 1,5x1cm
ca 4 grams included the chain
Salvador Dalí's Laughing Horse Head Pendant connects with the sacred through the apocalyptic mysticism and spiritual ecstasy that defined his artistic maturity. In biblical scriptures and the Christian tradition that the painter obsessively reinterpreted, the horse is a colossal, symbolic beast of burden: it evokes everything from divine power in the Book of Job to the horsemen of the Apocalypse announcing the end times. The unhinged, almost grotesque laughter that Dalí sculpts on the equine is not a gesture of mere profane mockery, but the surrealist representation of a sacred delirium; a neigh of mystical catharsis that blurs the boundary between the pain of sacrifice and the joy of divine revelation, transforming a small gold jewel into an amulet of spiritual transcendence.
