Painted in 1954, Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by the Horns of Her Own Chastity (Joven virgen auto-sodomizada por los cuernos de su propia castidad) is a paramount example of Salvador Dalí’s mid-century “Nuclear Mysticism” phase. Inspired by atomic theory, Renaissance perspective, and logarithmic spiraling forms found in nature, Dalí re-imagined the classical female figure through floating, horn-like shapes modeled after the logarithmic spiral of the rhinoceros horn. Overlooking a calm Mediterranean sea horizon, the composition creates a striking tension between sensual figurative tradition and rigorous scientific geometry. Held in a prestigious private collection, this work highlights Dalí’s unmatched technical precision during his Classic Period.
