This work represents Salvador Dali's Le Marriage de la Vierge, an intriguing piece that reinterprets Raphael's original painting (1504), which depicts the marriage ceremony between Mary and Joseph.

As part of the series Changes in Great Masterpieces, Dali's approach in this work challenges the viewer's perception and engagement with the artwork.

Dali's notable alteration is the duplication of the doorway light, extending it into a rectangular blue space behind the marrying couple. This alteration adds a surreal element to the scene and draws attention to the play of light and shadow within the composition.

Dali intended to prompt viewers to not merely "look" at the artwork but to truly "see" it—to delve deeper into the details and nuances that may often go unnoticed. By juxtaposing his graphic reinterpretation with the original painting, Dali invites viewers to study and compare the two, encouraging a deeper engagement with the artwork and fostering a greater appreciation for its complexities.

Through his unique perspective and artistic vision, Dali offers a fresh interpretation of Raphael's timeless masterpiece, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of tradition and innovation within art.
