Surrealist painting of religious inspiration, painted in 1951.
At the time Dalí created this work, he was already a man quite close to the Catholic faith; nevertheless, he found several detractors who did not understand the modernist character and the original perspective of the work.
The central figure is based on a small drawing that Saint John of the Cross had made in the 16th century.
