Our take on the Gala Contemplating Mediterranean - Salvador Dali - Surrealist Painting - Posters
A poster reproduction of Salvador Dalí's surrealist painting Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea, the 1976 work also known as Lincoln in Dalivision. Step back and the nude figure of Gala resolves into a portrait of Abraham Lincoln; up close it reads as a seated figure seen from behind against a window and sea. It suits Dalí fans and anyone who wants an optical-illusion piece with a story. The original is a limited-edition lithograph that is widely counterfeited, so a printed poster is the straightforward way to own the image without authentication risk.
- Striking double image that rewards a second look
- Recognizable Dalí composition with a clear backstory
- Flat print is easy to frame and hang
- Reproduces a work whose originals are heavily faked
- A poster print, not a collectible lithograph
- Fine detail and color depend on the printer
- Large sizes can look soft up close
- No authentication or provenance comes with a reproduction

Questions and answers
- What is the image actually showing?
- It is Dalí's Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea. Up close you see Gala's bare back before a window onto the sea; from a distance the shapes form a pixelated portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
- Is this an original Dalí lithograph?
- No. It is a poster reproduction of the painting. The original is a limited-edition lithograph, and that edition is one of the most counterfeited Dalí prints, which is why buying a clearly labeled reproduction avoids the authentication problem.
- Why is it also called Lincoln in Dalivision?
- That is the title the work is commonly sold and discussed under. Dalí built the Lincoln portrait from the standing figure, the window and the landscape so the face appears only at a distance.
- How should I display it for the illusion to work?
- Hang it at a normal viewing distance and let the viewer step back. The Lincoln face emerges from several feet away, while close up you see Gala and the room.
- Will the print match the colors of the original painting?
- It is a reproduction, so expect some shift from the original's blues and warm skin tones depending on the printer and paper. Check the listed print details before ordering.
