Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. His eccentric personality and flamboyant mustache became as iconic as his paintings. Dalí's masterpiece, "The Persistence of Memory," features melting clocks in a dreamlike landscape, exemplifying his fascination with the subconscious. Another notable work includes "Swans Reflecting Elephants" (1937), which showcases his double-image technique.
