Salvador Dalí
Woman at the Window (Muchacha en la ventana)
oil on board
1925
Landscape, glass reflection, and a person.
The light on the back of the girl (Ana Maria, his sister), enhances one of Dali’s favorite employed elements. The landscape
behind the window is the bay of Cadaqués, where Dalí used to stay in the summer. Garcia Lorca kept great memories about the
view from that window at the awakens, he described his stay in Cadaqués, like wonderful, as a beautiful dream. Salvador and
Ana Maria were very close each other, particularly after the death of their mother. Ana Maria was her only female model until
Gala replaced her in 1929. After Ana Maria in a book described her brother in a way that he doesn’t like, Dalí painted
another version of this picture with the title “Young Virgin Buggered By Her Own Chastity” (1954).
Vincent Van Gogh's 1889 painting of the sky over a sleeping village.
