Archeological Reminiscence of Millet's Angelus
(1933-35)
Oil on panel
12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches
Millet's Angelus painting had a profound impact on
Salvador Dali. He had first seen the work as a child in
school, but in 1932, he has a series of experiences that
led him to have several paranoid critical transformations
on the subject. The original painting, show several
peasants, working in a field, who have stopped for an
afternoon prayer. Their heads are bowed reverently, and
there is a wheelbarrow between them, with field scenery
stretching out behind them.
