This long-legged elephant, carrying an obelisk on its back, comes from Dalí's 1946 painting The Temptation of Saint Anthony.

Colossal horses and elephants, balanced on absurdly long, thin legs, appear to float weightlessly through the air. On their backs rise earthly temptations: obelisks, symbols of power and human pride; and sumptuous gilded palaces, embodying the allure of wealth and materialism. Dalí weaves a rich blend of Freudian and religious symbolism into this work. The animals' fragile legs emphasize how unstable these temptations actually are.

Each polychrome figurine is hand-painted, and all come with a photo of the original work and a biography of the artist.

In this work by Dalí, a scene both fascinating and disturbing unfolds. At the center is the figure of Saint Anthony, a Christian hermit, kneeling in deep concentration, brandishing his cross before a menacing procession of surreal apparitions. Each element is carefully chosen, like an echo of the battle unfolding not externally, but deep within the saint's soul.

Dali's nuclear mysticism defies the laws of gravity. Salvador Dalí is the greatest of the surrealists, sublimating his own life in painting and attempting to translate his subconscious into images.

Originally, the Dutch workshop Parastone, founded in Hieronymus Bosch's birthplace, specialized in the restoration of religious paintings and sculptures. After the delicate work of restoring works of art, these artisans with their unique expertise decided to go further, bringing the paintings back to life, but this time by removing the images from the horizontal plane. Thus, it is with the deepest respect for the original works that they make the most beautiful works in the History of Art accessible to all. The originality of a three-dimensional adaptation is added.
