Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía has highlighted Salvador Dalí’s 1933 work ‘El Ángelus arquitectónico de Millet’.

The painting transforms a 19th-century classic into a surrealist enigma. Dalí was obsessed with Jean-François Millet’s rural scene and reinterpreted it through what the museum describes as his most iconic vision.
