This work reveals the drawings made by Salvador Dalí to illustrate the work of the French thinker Michel de Montaigne. An important figure of the 16th century, he was the first to use the term Essay to describe a series of writings in which he reflected on the world in which he lived. Dalí, captivated by the French nobleman, selected and illustrated 21 chapters of his work, where Montaigne's values, thoughts and philosophy are compiled. In the book of Essays, bound in copper-colored silk, Dalí offers us his particular vision and ideas on the selected texts through 37 drawings. A collection of 15 plates -in Indian ink and watercolor- are presented in an elegant folder, all of them numbered and with the seal of the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, which guarantees the facsimile reproduction. The work is complemented by a book of studies that allows us to delve deeper into the work of Montaigne and Dalí, and takes us into the creation of this new literary genre. An indispensable analysis with a clear and concise language that brings the reader closer to the artist's illustrations, thus allowing us to enjoy this jewel of collecting.

CALDERÓN DE LA BARCA (Madrid, 1600 - 1681) and SALVADOR DALÍ (Figueres, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Life is a dream, 1975. Book with 16 original etchings by Dalí plus two repeats; one in sanguine and another from the lined plate. Copy 129/265. Printer Editorial E. Subirana S.A. Burlap binding. Copy with Salvador Dalí's autograph signature in pencil. Measurements: 40 x 30 x 7 cm (book); 41 x 31 x 8 cm (box). This work illustrates Dalí's vision of Calderón's play "La vida es sueño", a baroque play premiered in 1635, whose central theme is that of freedom in the face of personal destiny. During his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who regularly traveled to Paris. Following Pichot's advice, Dalí began to study painting with Juan Núñez. In 1922, Dalí stayed at the famous Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid to begin studying Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy. However, before his final exams in 1926, he was expelled for claiming that there was no one there fit to examine him. That same year Dalí traveled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established some formal characteristics that would become distinctive of all his work from then on. During this period, Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the surrealist group based in the Parisian neighborhood of Montparnasse. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to art dealer Julian Levy. As a result of his first individual exhibition in New York, his international projection was definitively consolidated, and since then he has been showing his work and giving lectures all over the world. Most of his production is gathered in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) or the Dalí Universe in London.
