Mountain lake by Salvador Dali

At the very beginning of his creative career, Dali wrote a series of landscapes of his homeland. Later he abandoned the generally accepted rules of painting, but Spanish landscapes were often present on his surrealistic canvases.

In the “Mountain Lake”, a strip of water is written off the lake near the Recesses in the Pyrenees, and the rocks resemble the cape near the Ka-dakes. The phone hints at telephone conversations between Adolf Hitler and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, which ended in the Munich agreement of 1938. Later the landscapes of Dali became absolutely fantastic – an example of that is the “Surrealistic Landscape”, 1968.
