The series of works by Salvador Dali known as "Dalinian Horses" is a quintessential example of Dali's fascination with the symbolism of the horse. Horses were one of the motifs frequently used by Dali in various works, as they represented for him strength, freedom, elegance and the spiritual dimension of man.Dali often referred to figures from Greek and Roman mythology, such as Pegasus and the horses of Helios pulling the chariot of the Sun. . In Dali's work, the horse is a symbol of strength, but also of ambivalent emotions: freedom and wildness, and at the same time subjugation and oppression.The fixtures shown in the visualizations are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a commercial offer.
