The image features the renowned Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in the Mediterranean Sea near Port Lligat, Cap de Creus, in the summer of 1955. Dalí is wearing a barretina, a traditional Catalan headdress. He is holding a gnarled shepherd's crook, which he claimed was a gift from the sea. He often swam at dawn as a ritual to clear his mind and spark ideas. This iconic photo highlights his imaginative spirit and connection to Catalan culture.
