Painted around 1918 during his Early Years period (1917–1927), Port of Cadaqués (Night) (Puerto de Cadaqués de noche) offers a luminous glimpse into young Salvador Dalí’s mastery over nocturnal light and atmosphere. Created when Dalí was fourteen, this small gem ($18.7 \times 24.2\text{ cm}$) reflects his transition from pure Impressionism into Post-Impressionist tonal experiments. Housed in the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, the canvas captures the quiet Mediterranean harbor of Cadaqués enveloped in evening shadows, featuring deep cobalt hues, soft water reflections, and the silhouette of coastal village architecture under a night sky.
