I don't know much at all about the artist - only became interested after reading Duma Key - but now I have a great appreciation of Dali, and I am intrigued by his religious art. I read that he was raised by a devout Catholic mother and a staunch atheist father. So I'm not sure about the meaning behind his paintings of Christ, the Blessed Mother and other religious scenes. I love art representing Our Lady.
