The Temptation of St. Anthony (Dalí)

One of the recurring motifs in Dalí's works are elephants. We also find this symbol in the painting The Temptation of St. Antony from 1946. Dalí finds inspiration for this motif in Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture Giovanna, which depicts an elephant carrying one of the Egyptian obelisks. Dalí adds extremely long and skinny legs to the elephants, which creates the impression of ghosts. The original Temptation of St. You can find Antonín in the Musee dArt Moderne in Brussels.
