A Piece of Art "The Temptation of St. Anthony,1946 (Dali)"


When I was a child I lived a time in Santiago too. In this year’s mi mother works in a big company as accountant, and in one of her travels to the work she saw this "piece of art", rather a replica, at the moment she have no money but she want to bought anyway, because of this she waited a few week while she can saved some money, at the next weekend she can do that and took it to home, after a few years when we traveled to Pichilemu the "The Temptation of St. Anthony" remained in our old home, or  a cousin stole it , I don´t remember well.
This piece is, in my opinion, the most representative work of the famous visual artist Dali, created in 1946. The real piece is painted in oil onto egg linen, is a surrealist work that measures about approximately one square meter. Actually this piece is preserved in the Musée Royaux des Beaux-Arts.
This work represents literally, the religious human temptations at time like:
The triumph and the power, represented by a big but skinny horse, which has its hooves worn and dusty.
 The sex and the woman representation, represented by a woman up the first elephant, and a woman body right up the third one.
And the gold and treasures represented by all the animals with a pyramid above its back, and a gold house carried by two elephants with the most skinny and long legs.
I like it because it piece remember me my old house.
