Salvador Dalí - Tristan and Isolde Giant Beliagog Pencil Signed Framed 1970 Original Etching Edition of 75 copies 71 x 58 (framed) 51 x 39 (unframed) Limited Edition Rarity The medieval theme of the legend of Tristan and Isolde has inspired a good number of artists. Salvador Dalí revisits it faithfully with his surrealist touch, mixing love, death and madness. The legend of Tristan and Isolde is the tragic tale of two lovers destined to share a forbidden but eternal love. Mythological scholars believe the legend originated in Brittany, western France. Over time, it became associated with Arthurian legends and became part of the mythology of medieval Europe, told and retelled in various versions and in many languages.
