Salvador Dali, also available in 47cm. version

This elephant on long legs with an obelisk on its back comes from the painting The Temptation of Saint Anthony 1946 (La Tentation de Saint Antoine). In this painting, a fascinating and ominous scene unfolds. At the center stands the figure of Saint Anthony, a Christian hermit, kneeling in deep concentration, his cross raised against a looming procession of surreal apparitions.
From the distance they approach: colossal horses and elephants, balancing on absurdly long, spindly legs that seem to carry them weightlessly through the air. (SD04 – h. 24 cm., SD12 –  XL h. 47 cm.)
