## Caption

The long-legged spider in Dalí’s “Daddy Longlegs of the Evening - Hope!” may not mean what you think. 🕷️🔎 

The painting’s title refers to an old French peasant legend: a spider seen in the evening is a symbol of good luck. Dalí painted this work while he was in the United States after leaving Europe during World War II. #TheDali #DaliDecoded
