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)

  • Luke 24:6-7; Matthew 28:6; Mark 16:6; John 20:9

    This pivotal moment in the Gospels represents the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a cornerstone of Christian faith. After Jesus' crucifixion and burial, the third day marks the moment when Jesus triumphs over death, revealing Himself to be the Son of God and affirming His divine mission. His resurrection signifies the victory of life over death and the promise of eternal life for believers.

    Biblical Passage: Luke 24:6-7 (KJV)
    "He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

    In this passage, the angels at the tomb declare to the women that Jesus has risen, just as He said He would. His resurrection fulfills the prophecy and promises that He would conquer death after three days in the tomb.

    Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
    In Dalí’s interpretation,  the resurrection would be portrayed as a cosmic, divine event with surreal elements that emphasize the mystical and eternal significance of Jesus’ victory over death. Dalí would likely focus on radiant light, abstract landscapes, and ethereal figures to convey the divine nature of the event. The empty tomb, broken stone, and transcendent atmosphere would symbolize the new reality ushered in by the resurrection, transforming the world from death to life, and offering eternal hope to all.
