About the Work
"The Dovelike Eyes of the Bride (Plate E)" is an etching and stencil with gilding on Arches created by Salvador Dalí for his 1971 series "Song of Songs of Solomon." From the edition of 520, the artwork is signed 'Dalí' lower right and 'LA' blind stamp lower left. The artwork ships framed and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Salvador Dalí’s "Song of Songs of Solomon, 1971" is a celebrated suite created as a visual interpretation of the biblical "Song of Songs," one of the most poetic and mystical texts in religious literature. Traditionally attributed to King Solomon, the "Song of Songs" is a collection of lyrical love poems that has been interpreted on both literal and allegorical levels, celebrating human love while also symbolizing the spiritual union between God and humanity. Its rich imagery of beauty, desire, devotion, and transcendence has inspired artists, theologians, and poets for centuries.
"Song of Songs of Solomon" occupies an attractive position within Dalí’s graphic oeuvre. The use of gilding adds visual richness and distinguishes these prints from standard editions, enhancing both their decorative impact and collectible appeal. The series reflects Dalí’s mature period, during which he increasingly explored spiritual, literary, and philosophical themes through his distinctive Surrealist vocabulary.
