Edited sentence: At the center of the painting, the cross illuminates the whole: it is where the light is strongest and most intense.Dalí is represented twice in the vertical axis: he appears in the light at the center of the image, floating with arms spread, and the top of the image.Death is at the heart of all concerns, both artistically and philosophically: Jean-Paul Sartre is a good example, he inspired many artists with his vision of the world dominated by the disgust and despair.Diagonally, the rays of light extend from Dalí's arms and legs and form four zones: the locomotive and Dalí (on the top, the subject of the painting), respect and work (values, on the left), lust and bereavement (sins and misfortune on the right), and the boat on the sea (death at the bottom).La Gare de Perpignan (1965) is a 296 x 406 cm oil on canvas painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí on display in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.On the bottom of the painting lies a calm sea on which a boat, an ancient symbol of the passage from death to life, reinforcing the theme of Christ's sacrifice.On the left side of the painting, are the embodiment of positive values (the couple on the bags of wheat represent labor, and the man in a meditative pose embodies respect), while on the right of the image are embodied sins and suffering (the man and woman represent lust, and the woman mourning).The elements shown in the painting (pain, Dalí, the locomotive) are illustrated clearly, while Christ, the positive values and sins are show less clearly, their outlines are less pronounced and their color blends with the background.The painting has several axes of symmetry.The painting is composed of earthy colors from the dark brown to light yellow, the palette is composed equally of all blends and gradients of these two colors.The spreading rays show the brilliance and power of the man despite death which awaits him.Vertically, the axis of symmetry (formed by the superposition of Dalí himself, the locomotive of Christ, Dalí again and the woman with the turned back) is a separation between good and evil (see description).fr:La Gare de Perpignan
