Salvador Dalí was a renowned Spanish surrealist artist known for his striking and imaginative works that explored dreams, the subconscious, and quite bizarre imagery. Born in Figueres, Spain, he gained fame for paintings and iconography most famously featuring melting clocks. Dalí's art combined precise realism with dreamlike scenes, heavily influenced by psychoanalysis and Freudian theory. Beyond painting, he worked in sculpture, film, and fashion, becoming a cultural icon noted for his eccentric personality and distinctive moustache. 

In 1972, Salvador Dalí created a series of prints titled The Twelve Apostles, which included a depiction of Thomas, one of Christ’s disciples. This series reflected Dalí’s fascination with religion, mysticism, and spirituality. The artwork blends his surrealist style with religious symbolism, using vivid color, dreamlike imagery, and abstract forms to convey spiritual depth. This piece demonstrates Dalí’s shift from early surrealist explorations toward more metaphysical and divine subjects in his later years.

His legacy continues to influence contemporary art and popular culture. This work would appeal to collectors of printmaking, the bizarre and surreal, mythology and theology. A true wonder to experience.
