Dali discovered
The picture shows a copy of an unreleased work by Spanish artist Salvador Dali titled The Intrautirine Birth of Salvador Dali during its presentation in Madrid. An oil painting sold at a Spanish antique shop more than two decades ago for $200 has been certified as Salvador Dali's first Surrealist work which he painted as a teenager, art experts said. Tomeu L'Amo, a painter and art historian, found the canvas at a store in Girona in northeastern Spain in 1988 and suspecting it was a work by Dali, he paid 25,000 pesetas, Spain’s currency at the time, for it.
