Salvador Dalì, Abraham, Pater Multarum Gentium, 50x39 cm, Lithograph from The Holy Bible, 1967

Colour lithograph taken from the Holy Bible collection from 1967 demonstrated by Dalí during his nuclear mystical phase. The print shows Abraham, one of the most important prophets of the Bible. He is said to be the father of all people and everyone descended from him. He is known as the Patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We are told about Abraham and his family through the Book of Genesis. A large black overshadows the painting, which also outlines the profile of the prophet. Known of his tremendous faith and obedience, Abraham was the first one to recognize and preach the notion of one God. The lithograph is labelled number 12 and is plate signed by Dalí on the top left corner.
