Description

Vintage glossy 7.75 x 12 full-length photo of Salvador Dali walking with his cane, annotated on the reverse with a note in Dali's hand: "Dear Pierre, I am pleased with your project of bullfight that is a good thing for the Arena of Nimes." In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing to the image side.

The Arena of Nîmes, located in southern France, is one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world, dating back to around 70 AD. Originally built for gladiatorial games, it today plays host to concerts and traditional bullfights, continuing its legacy as a place of spectacle. During the annual Feria de Nîmes, the arena becomes a vibrant center of Spanish-style bullfighting, blending ancient architecture with modern cultural tradition.
