The Bleeding Roses – Salvador Dalí
The Bleeding Roses is a painting by Salvador Dalí from 1930: a naked woman against a column, with red roses growing from her belly and blood dripping from them. We paint our hand-painted study of The Bleeding Roses to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 50 cm to 150 × 180 cm or in a custom size. Before The Bleeding Roses is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does The Bleeding Roses show?
In The Bleeding Roses a naked woman with long fair hair and closed eyes leans with outstretched arms against a tall, pale column, and a bunch of dark red roses grows from her belly, with blood running down her thighs; behind her lie dark geometric planes, the sea and a sky with blue clouds. The beauty of the rose and the pain of the blood are joined in one body in The Bleeding Roses, so the painting speaks of desire, suffering and femininity at once.
How is our hand-painted study of The Bleeding Roses made?
Our painters paint the study of The Bleeding Roses 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 The Bleeding Roses has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When The Bleeding Roses is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of The Bleeding Roses suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose The Bleeding Roses in 80 × 100 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 50 cm. The Bleeding Roses is available in 40 × 50 cm, 50 × 61 cm, 60 × 70 cm, 70 × 90 cm, 80 × 100 cm, 100 × 120 cm, 120 × 150 cm and 150 × 180 cm. A simple rule for The Bleeding Roses: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does The Bleeding Roses arrive, and when?
We ship The Bleeding Roses rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of The Bleeding Roses are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of The Bleeding Roses is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of The Bleeding Roses painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
