Fille de Minos

1976
Salvador Dalí

Salvador Dalí's "Fille de Minos" (1976) is a captivating lithograph that elegantly embodies a moment from Ovid's "The Metamorphoses". This piece showcases Phaedra, adorned in striking blue robes, alongside Theseus, the Athenian king, who is depicted with a minimalist reed. Set against the backdrop of an olive tree and a distant palace, Dalí masterfully merges classical themes with his signature abstract style, inviting viewers into a timeless narrative woven from the rich tapestry of Roman mythology.
