This lithograph by Salvador Dalí reinterprets Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights through the surrealist’s unique vision. Combining fantastical figures, dreamlike landscapes, and symbolic imagery, Dalí pays homage to Bosch while infusing the work with his own eccentric and provocative style.

Untitled, c. 1960s–70s
Color lithograph on paper

Suite of pochoir lithographs
