The war completely turned the mind of the atheist Dali. The artist became a believer, which did not fail to reflect on his work. So mysticism and Christian motives began to unite in works in a bizarre way. The painter created two versions of the painting “The Madonna of Port Lligata.”
A certain prototype of these compositions, Dali made the canvas of the artist of the Piero’s era Francesca’s “Madonna with the Saints and Duke of Urbino.” The author gives the Mother of God the features of his wife Gala. How did Pope Pius XII react to this? It is not known, but the first version of the work was accepted as a gift.
