Painted around 1917 during his Early Years period (1917–1927), Cadaqués captures the iconic coastal village of Cadaqués on Spain’s Costa Brava, where Salvador Dalí spent the happiest summers of his youth. Created under the influence of French Impressionist painting and local mentor Ramón Pichot, thirteen-year-old Dalí used lively impasto brushwork, warm sun-baked ochres, crisp whites, and luminous sea-blues to render the village’s whitewashed houses against the Mediterranean shoreline. Decades before the surreal landscapes of his maturity, Cadaqués provided the light, coastline, and geological rock formations that remained the eternal backdrop for Dalí’s artistic life.
