The Architectonic "Angelus" of a Millet, 1933. The tragic myth of Millet's Angelus is one of Dali's most profound fantasies. Confirming Dali's own interpretation of the picture, an X-ray examination of Millet's canvas has revealed a geometrical shape between the two figures, the coffin of their dead child. According to Dali, the women's seemingly submissive stance merely indicates a lull before the act of aggression, like that of praying mantis before copulation. The wheelbarrow, a female object, figure as such in many popular representation of rural eroticism.
