The Music

The bas relief, depicted "The Music", comes from an artwork of the Master Salvador Dalì and it was realized by the artisans of the Istituto Grafico Italiano with the technique of transference from the flat figure to the relief. The subject is put in a galvanic plating, in silver and in gold. Finally it is hand colored by the IGI's artisans.

In the middle there is a female figure, playing a lyre, a typical instrument of the Greek mythology. The woman seems like a nymph, dressed with a drapery and light clothing. Since he was a child, as he wrote in the "Secret life", the music has been part of his life, above all thanks to the Pichot's, a family of musicians, painters and artists that lived in Cadaques, as the Dalì's family. It was Pepito Pichot to push the father to make young Salvador study art. The other brother, the cellist Ricardo, was portrayed by Dalì when he was only sixteen, this is showing of his premature talent. The music had represented a point of reference for Dalì's creativity, in fact in many artworks we find often musical instruments, above all the piano, childhood memory related to his father, and the harp, symbol of nostalgia and melancholy.

The bas relief is signed in plate and numbered 850/999.
