Did I forget that Dali had done religious art? I don't recall ever seeing this one, either. How wonderful that you have it so close to you! You'll definitely have to take me to go see it. :) I hope you have a wonderful time tomorrow.

Who'd have thought that there was a Dali in Scotland? Shows you how much I know about art.

I did see a wonderful Dali exhibit when I was in Rome. Only it was his sculptures, and not his paintings. I felt so lucky to have seen it.

Sir Tom Honeyman bought the painting for the city of Glasgow back when it was first painted, bought it before it was complete from what I remember. Eight and a half thousand pounds - caused quite a controversy too. Considering what that amount of money could have done then, I'm not surprised - though the painting made back 4 times it's original cost in the years since it was bought, thanks to licensing and copyright fees.

A Dali in Scotland? It's one of the few... but definitely one of the worthwhile!
