Neptune was the Roman god of water and the sea in Roman mythology and religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. In the Greek-influenced tradition, Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto, each of them presiding over one of the three realms of Heaven, Earth and the Netherigions.

There seems to be confusion as to the title of this work.

The Archives created by Albert Field lists the title as Neptune with Poseiden in parenthasis.

Neptune had power over Sea Water and Fresh water both.

As both characters were worshipped by the Romans/Greeks, it makes

sense that Dali might have referenced both in the same work.

Our price for this work is far below what others are asking.

There are only a few of these on the market.

Here is an image of the work:

Salvador Dali Viet Nam prints


Angel of Mercy Covering a Calmer World
23" x 16" on V Piera Paper
*Hand signed by Salvador Dali in 1973 in front of witnesses.

*The bon à tirer prints or Artists Proofs can be seen at the Dali Museum when they are on display.

The Vietnam War was a Cold War-era military conflict that occurred in Vietnam,
Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975.
During the most publicized part of the Viet Nam War,
Salvador Dali was living in New York at the St. Regis Hotel and meeting with the
public on a regular basis.

The Viet Nam war protests and constant news stories shaped the culture of that day
and sparked unrest and chaos among the young people of the United States.
While most people might refer to the destructive nature of weapons,
Dali referred to the Aomic Bomb as "excited particles".
The extensive study of science as a youth gave Dali a unique perspective on things
having to do with energy or decay as a few examples.
The Angel in the image is similar to the iconic Angel we see
in many of Dali's better known graphics.
The Angel of Mercy is referred to in various religeons,
known for healing and compassion. So during a time of great conflict
and destruction, Dali created a series of works having to do with Peace in Viet Nam.

We have only one of these available.

Invisible Sleeping Woman Horse Lion by Salvador Dali

Invisible Sleeping Woman, Horse, Lion
Salvador Dali
 Musee National d-Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France
Great masterworks are born of pain. In his cottage at Port Lligat, Dali now set about painting like one possessed. Invisible Sleeping Woman, Horse, Lion was surely the major work of this period; while The Invisible Man is the first double-image picture of a man and a 'woman, a fetish to protect the two lovers, Dali and Gala, from Dali's father and other dangers. Invisible Sleeping Woman, Horse, Lion not only examines Dali's recurring theme of the persistence of desire, but is also an investigation of multiple-image possibilities such as the artist was to explore over and over again in the sequel. The multiple image, to Dali's way of thinking, could extend the "paranoiac" process by adding a second and even third visual dimension.
