Which 1954 Salvador Dalí painting presents the Crucifixion using a four-dimensional hypercube?

Salvador Dalí’s 1954 painting presenting the Crucifixion using a four-dimensional hypercube is Corpus Hypercubus.

The work is also known as Crucifixion and depicts Christ suspended above a geometric net representing a tesseract, or four-dimensional hypercube. Dalí used the unusual structure to combine Christian imagery with mathematical ideas.

The painting reflects Dalí’s interest in science, mathematics, and atomic theory during the period he called his “nuclear mysticism.” Unlike conventional Crucifixion scenes, Christ is shown without visible nails, a crown of thorns, or a conventional cross.

Corpus Hypercubus is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It is often confused with Christ of Saint John of the Cross, another famous Dalí Crucifixion painting, but that 1951 work uses a dramatic overhead viewpoint and a conventional cross.
