Madonna of Port Lligat – Salvador Dalí
Madonna of Port Lligat is a painting by Salvador Dalí from 1949: the Madonna, with Gala’s face, sits before the bay of Port Lligat, and a window opens in her body where the Child floats. We paint our hand-painted study of Madonna of Port Lligat to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 38 × 49 cm to 150 × 200 cm or in a custom size. Before Madonna of Port Lligat is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Madonna of Port Lligat show?
In Madonna of Port Lligat the Madonna sits with folded hands on a dismantled throne of stone blocks floating in the air, a rectangular opening in the middle of her body holds the floating child, and a shell and an egg hang above her; behind lie rocks and the calm sea of the bay of Port Lligat. Dalí gave the Madonna the face of his wife Gala and used the separated parts to show a world in which nothing stands still, so Madonna of Port Lligat joins the sacred, mathematics and dream.
How is our hand-painted study of Madonna of Port Lligat made?
Our painters paint the study of Madonna of Port Lligat by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order.

When Madonna of Port Lligat is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
