Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish Surrealist painter renowned for his technical precision and vividly imaginative compositions. His work explores the unconscious mind, the distortion of time, and the interplay between reality and fantasy, combining meticulous draftsmanship with symbolic and dreamlike imagery that remains immediately recognizable worldwide.

Dalí’s works are held in major international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Salvador Dalí Museum (St. Petersburg, Florida), the Tate Modern (London), and the Centre Pompidou (Paris). Landscape with Telephones on a Plate demonstrates the enduring creativity and technical mastery that secure Dalí’s place as a defining figure of 20th-century art.
