Girl of Ampurdan – Salvador Dalí
Girl of Ampurdan is a painting by Salvador Dalí from 1926: a girl with loose fair hair stands with her back to us on a wet shore, looking towards the farmhouses of the Empordà. We paint our hand-painted study of Girl of Ampurdan to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 51 cm to 150 × 190 cm or in a custom size. Before Girl of Ampurdan is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Girl of Ampurdan show?
In Girl of Ampurdan a barefoot girl in a light, airy dress that the wind shapes around her body stands by water that mirrors the sky; ahead of her stretches a plain of reddish earth with trees and stone farmhouses under a pale blue sky with a faint moon. Dalí painted it before Surrealism, in the realist style of his youth, so Girl of Ampurdan is bright, simple and full of Catalan light.
How is our hand-painted study of Girl of Ampurdan made?
Our painters paint the study of Girl of Ampurdan by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Girl of Ampurdan has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Girl of Ampurdan is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
