The image provided is a framed print of the famous 1936 painting by Salvador Dalí titled Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War). The original oil painting is an allegory for the Spanish Civil War and is housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 
Symbolism: The painting depicts a monstrous, self-destructive figure, serving as an allegory for a nation tearing itself apart during a civil war.
Context: While often publicly apolitical, the painting reflects Dalí's anxiety over Spain's political climate and the personal impact of the war, including the death of his friend Federico García Lorca and his sister's imprisonment.
Boiled Beans: Dalí included boiled beans, explaining them as necessary for "swallowing all that unconscious meat," suggesting they represent the need to cope with hardships.
Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish artist and one of the most famous exponents of the Surrealist art movement. Known for his eccentric personality and flamboyant mustache as much as his work, Dalí was a highly skilled draftsman who used a meticulous, realistic style to depict bizarre, dream-like scenes derived from his subconscious mind. He was influenced by the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud and developed a technique called the "paranoiac-critical method" to access subconscious imagery for his art.
