When It Falls, It FallsSalvador Dalí

This 1972 painting reimagines a Flemish scene through surrealism. A melting clock with cryptic numbers drapes over butchered poultry and distorted figures, reflecting Dalí’s fascination with time and mortality. As the final piece in Les Dîners de Gala (Gala's Dinners ), it explores decadence and decay, merging opulence with inevitable decline, characteristic of Dalí’s unique vision.
