Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 13.6 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 15.9 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 25.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Dalí's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 195 × 124 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)" is an intriguing painting by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. Created in 1954, it stands out as a unique interpretation of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Salvador Dalí was associated with the Surrealist movement, which sought to explore the depths of the subconscious and challenge conventional artistic norms. "Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)" demonstrates Dalí's blend of surrealism with religious symbolism.

The painting depicts the crucifixion scene with a twist. Instead of the traditional wooden cross, Jesus is suspended on a tesseract, or a hypercube, which is a four-dimensional geometric shape. This choice reflects Dalí's fascination with science, mathematics, and the concept of higher dimensions.

By placing Jesus on the hypercube, Dalí aimed to convey a sense of the divine and transcendence. The hypercube represents the intersection between the material and the spiritual worlds, suggesting a deeper reality beyond our everyday perception.

Dalí's precise and meticulous technique is evident in the painting. He employed meticulous detail, crisp lines, and precise lighting to create a hyper-realistic effect. The combination of precision and surreal elements enhances the dreamlike quality of the artwork.

Inspiration from Renaissance Masters: Dalí drew inspiration from the works of Renaissance masters such as Raphael, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio. He studied their techniques and infused them with his own unique style, resulting in a fusion of traditional and surrealist elements in "Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)."

The painting was first exhibited in 1954 at the Carstairs Gallery in New York. It has since been displayed in various museums and galleries worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork is regarded as one of Dalí's most significant religious-themed pieces.

"Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)" stands as a testament to Salvador Dalí's ability to combine disparate elements—surrealism, religious symbolism, and scientific concepts—in a thought-provoking and visually striking manner. It continues to captivate viewers and invites contemplation on the intersection of faith, perception, and the nature of reality.
