Landscape Near Figueras (1910) is a painting by the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. This is one of the earliest known works by Dalí, having been painted when he was about six years old. At the beginning of Dalí’s career, his primary influence was from the impressionist movement. This painting is one of the purest examples of Dalí’s impressionist period. Over the next ten years he would use increasingly brilliant colors and lighting until the 1920s, when he began creating cubist and surrealist compositions. Landscape Near Figueras was painted in oil over a 14 x 9 cm postcard. The sky was painted thinly, allowing part of the design of the postcard to show through. It is now part of the private collection of Mr. Albert Field in Astoria, Queens, New York. less
