What is the name of the Dalí painting that includes a hidden image of Gala as a bullfighter?

The Dalí painting that includes an image of Gala as part of its layered visual design is The Hallucinogenic Toreador. Dalí painted it in 1969–1970, using symbolism, optical illusion and his paranoiac-critical method to make multiple images emerge from one composition.

The scene is set inside a bullfighting ring, and Gala appears in the upper-left area. The painting was dedicated to her and reflects her strong dislike of bullfighting. The central toreador is formed through repeated images of the Venus de Milo; from a distance, their shapes combine into the face and body of a bullfighter, traditionally associated with Manolete.

The work contains many other transformations: a dying bull becomes part of a landscape, and Saint Narcissus’s gadflies help form the toreador’s costume. Dalí Museum materials and descriptions sometimes emphasize Gala’s portrait rather than calling it a hidden bullfighter image, but both refer to the same painting. It is now displayed at the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
