Tuna Fishing (Homage to Meissonier) was painted by Salvador Dalí in 1966-1967 and is seen by many as one of Dalí’s last masterpieces. Filled chaotically with the violent struggle of the men in the picture and the big fish. A golden knife stabs into the fish and the azure- blue sea becomes red with blood.This painting is a dedication to Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier a 19th-century French painter who specialised in battle scenes.
