What the museum label doesn't tell you
Two farmers, heads bowed, total silence: the most devout scene of the 19th century. But Dalí wasn't satisfied with just looking. He asked the Louvre for an X-ray of the canvas and swore he saw, buried under the paint between the two figures, an elongated geometric shape - a hidden child's coffin beneath layers of oil. Scholars never bought it, but once you know the theory, the image is hard to unsee. Look at that dark basket on the ground, right where a small coffin might rest. Prayer for the harvest, or grief no one ever named?
