This is an illustrated book of the Bible in Vulgate. The Biblia Sacra was published in 1969 by Rizzoli of Rome. The lithographs are on a heavy paper and are signed in the plate. The Biblia Sacra lithographs were produced as illustrations for a new edition of the Bible. The Biblia Sacra suite consists of 105 color mixed-technique lithographs after 105 watercolor paintings created by Dali between 1963 and 1964. The Biblia Sacra works are a combination of offset lithography, continuous tone lithography, serigraphy (silkscreening) with application of varnishes and metallic inks. The works were “printed” on a heavy stock designed specifically to hold up to the various techniques used. Quality craftsmanship and artistry are evident in every Biblia Sacra work. The unique combination of multiple printing techniques gives these illustrations a richness and depth that resulted in works that are exceptionally true to the original paintings.

Creator: Salvador Dalí­ (1904 - 1989, Spanish)

  • Exodus 3:1-6

    “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up.
    So Moses thought, ‘I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.’
    When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’
    And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’
    ‘Do not come any closer,’ God said. ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.’
    Then he said, ‘I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.”

    Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
    In Dalí's surrealistic vision, the Burning Bush would transcend a mere physical phenomenon and become a powerful, cosmic event where divinity and humanity meet in a realm of mystery and awe. Through distorted forms, fluid elements, and dreamlike settings, Dalí would transform the moment into a surreal, otherworldly encounter, emphasizing the timeless and transformative nature of God’s call. The entire scene would challenge the viewer to reflect on the nature of the sacred and the divine in the human experience.
