The title of this vibrant piece translates to "The Horse of Death" and likely refers to the steed on which the final horseman of the Apocalypse, Death, will ride in. The horse theme was frequently used by Dali throughout his career. The horse is seen as a symbol of beauty and elegance as well as a symbol of strength and rawness. The portfolio from which this piece came is an homage to the animal itself and all the symbols it represents in modern culture, mythology, and history of humanity and art.
