This is an illustrated book of the Bible in Vulgate. The Biblia Sacra was published in 1969 by Rizzoli of Rome. The lithographs are on a heavy paper and are signed in the plate. The Biblia Sacra lithographs were produced as illustrations for a new edition of the Bible. The Biblia Sacra suite consists of 105 color mixed-technique lithographs after 105 watercolor paintings created by Dali between 1963 and 1964. The Biblia Sacra works are a combination of offset lithography, continuous tone lithography, serigraphy (silkscreening) with application of varnishes and metallic inks. The works were “printed” on a heavy stock designed specifically to hold up to the various techniques used. Quality craftsmanship and artistry are evident in every Biblia Sacra work. The unique combination of multiple printing techniques gives these illustrations a richness and depth that resulted in works that are exceptionally true to the original paintings.

Creator: Salvador Dalí­ (1904 - 1989, Spanish)

  • John 20:17

    This moment occurs after Jesus’ resurrection, when Mary Magdalene encounters Him near the empty tomb. Overcome with emotion, she reaches out, but Jesus tells her:

    Biblical Passage: John 20:17 (KJV)
    "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."

    Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
    Dalí’s depiction  would likely capture the mystical tension between human longing and divine transformation. Through surreal imagery, he would emphasize Jesus’ newly glorified state, the spiritual significance of the resurrection, and the transition from earthly presence to divine ascension.
