Question 1454

It is generally accepted that this pattern is the pattern that appears on the body of the Death-Head Hawk moth. However, contrary to popular belief, the pattern is a portrait photograph by Philippe Halsman in collaboration with Salvador Dali, called "In Voluptas Mors". It is a surrealistic portrait of Dali beside a large skull, which is in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. Halsman took three hours to arrange the models according to a sketch by Dali.

What am I talking about?

In Voluptas Mors


Answer: It is the skull pattern which appears on the moth in The Silence of the Lambs Poster, thought to be the Death-Head Hawk moth. But in fact, it is the "In Voluptas Mors" piece of art.
