Description
Summary:In his „Biblia Sacra“ cycle, did Salvador Dalí reflect on the relationship between Old Testament and New Testament texts, and if so, in what way? Four pictures are presented in this article that illustrate how Dalí was well aware of the problem. In his picture of the deluge, he emphasizes as the Bible text that humans remain sinners even after the Flood. If God makes a covenant with Noah, God has to change and to decide to bear the sin. So one sees in the center a large fish, the symbol for ICHTHYS, Jesus Christ Son of God Savior. – In „vinea electa“ Dalí first concentrates on the guilt of mankind, based on Isa 5:1–7. The turning point is made by Christ with cross staff, scythe and snake. At the right side, Christ appears as a vine (John 15:5); good fruits are possible in him. – In two pictures on the raising of the dead in the O.T., Dalí closely links to the resurrection of Christ. In his work on 2 Kings 13:20–21, Elisha prays to the risen Christ. Ez 37 (raising the dry dead bones from the graves) is clearly combined with the resurrection of Jesus. Indeed Dalí connects it with the Easter liturgy (Lamb of God) of the Catholic Church. Mankind universally is driven into resurrection. – All examples show the reflected hermeneutics of Salvador Dalí.
