History

In 1929, several Surrealists including Paul Éluard and his wife Gala were visiting Dalí at his home in Spain. Upon seeing the Surrealist style painting, they were intrigued by it, which led to Dalí becoming an official member of the movement.

The painting was the subject of an analysis by Georges Bataille for Documents issue no. 7.[1]
