High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by the Horns of Her Own Chastity is a 1954 painting by Salvador Dali. During the 1950s, Dali painted many of his subjects as composed of rhinoceros horns. Here, the Young Virgin's buttocks consist of four converging horns; "as the horns simultaneously comprise and threaten to sodomise the callipygian figure, she is effectively (auto-)sodomised by her own constitution." Dali's inspiration for the image appears to have come from Vermeer, one of a handful of artists regarded by Dali as masters. Specifically, Vermeer's The Lacemaker seems to have been the galvanising element, with its convergent curves which focus on the subject's fingers and so to the penetration point of her needle - which as Dali has pointed out is merely implied and not actually painted. In a stunt, Dali set up his easel before Vermeer's original with the expressed intent of making a copy. The result however was this painting, which consciously uses Vermeer's focal-point arrangement, albeit to entirely different effect.
