However, everyone was thrown back when this painting that only few have heard about fetched $11 million in 2011. Painted in 1934 in Paris, Enigmatic Elements in a Landscape is an oil-panel work, supremely Surrealistic and Dalian, in which many enigmatic elements are intertwined under a dazzling sky. On the wide lane of Port Lligat viewers can see Jan Vermeer, one of Dali’s idols, working at his easel. Before him lays an enigmatic tower and cypress trees, common in the Spanish countryside the artist grew up in, while a shrouded figure adds the habitual enigma. There are the customary hugging beans, and a young Dali upon the landscape wearing a sailor suit and holding a bone and hoop. The absinthe green enveloping the dreamscape is one of the painter’s favorite colors. Enigmatic Elements in a Landscape was purchased by Fundacio Gala Salvador Dali and can now be admired at the Dali Theater-Museum in Figueras.
