Product information "Salvador Dalí: Picture 'The meditative rose' (1958), framed"
Dalí favoured ancient mythological contexts in his paintings. In Greek mythology, the goddess of love, Aphrodite, was born with a white rose bush from the foam of the sea. The rose only acquired its red colour through Aphrodite's adultery with the beautiful Adonis. On the way to her dying lover, Aphrodite stepped into rose thorns and coloured the white roses red with her blood. The white rose thus stands for the purity of love, while red roses symbolise desire and passion. But the symbol of the rose not only stands for love, but also for secrecy. 'Sub rosa', meaning 'under the rose', was used in the Middle Ages when people wanted to say something in secret. The rose thus became the symbol of secret societies and of mystery - so it is no coincidence that the rose hovers over Dalí's world... Original: Collection Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Grant Collection, New York High-quality reproduction in the fine art giclée process, worked by hand on artist's canvas made of 100% cotton and traditionally stretched on a real wood stretcher frame like an original painting. The surface of the motif is characterised by a fine canvas structure that can be felt and seen, which has been sealed by hand with varnish. An elegant solid wood frame rounds off the sophisticated overall picture. Format 72 x 61 cm (H/W). Exclusively at ars mundi.
