Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of The Cross has gone on display at The Dalí Theatre and Museum in the surrealist icon’s home town of Figueres.
It is regarded as one of Scotland’s most treasured paintings and the greatest work of art in Glasgow’s civic collection.
The exhibition will also showcase the comprehensive work by the Centre for Dalinian Studies - whose objective is to preserve, catalogue and study the documentary collection that it houses, as well as to foster research into the most diverse aspects of the oeuvre and life of Salvador Dalí. The seascape in the painting is the bay of Portlligat, a small village on the Costa Brava where Dalí lived and worked from 1930 to 1982.
Jordi Mercader, president of the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, added: “We hope that it will indeed attract a lot of people without being able to anticipate the attendance. A museum spokesperson said: “The exhibition will allow us to revisit a work that had not been seen in Spain since 1952, when it was exhibited in Madrid and Barcelona. And even more importantly, it will allow us to enter the artist's universe and explore the relevance of Dalí's workshop in the bay of Portlligat, located in a landscape without which the painting would not acquire its full meaning.
