About this lot
Artist: Salvador Dali
Title: Cosmic Madonna
Medium: Color Lithograph On Paper
Style: Surrealism / Nuclear Mysticism
Dimension: Framed: 27.25 x 34 in.
Condition: No visible flaws.
Additional Information: Limited-edition color lithograph after Spanish Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí (1904–1989), titled Cosmic Madonna, also associated with the composition Raphaelesque Head Exploding. The work presents a fragmented female head inspired by Renaissance depictions of the Madonna, surrounded by architectural, geometric, and organic forms.
The composition reflects Dalí’s Nuclear Mysticism period, combining scientific concepts, religious imagery, classical art, and fragmented forms. A Pantheon-like dome and oculus appear within the upper portion of the composition, surrounded by floating and cascading elements.
The Madonna imagery reflects Dalí’s interest in Renaissance masters, particularly Raphael. The contrast between the classical female visage and fragmented surroundings combines traditional religious imagery with Dalí’s Surrealist visual language. Color lithograph on paper, pencil-signed and numbered 180/300.
