This original gouache on paper is the artwork Salvador Dalí used to create a 1975 portfolio of illustrations for Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. The work depicts the souls of Romeo & Juliet ascending, arm-in-arm, unto the angels over the city of Verona. The scene presents a sunny end to Shakespeare's tragedy. This gouache is the last of the ten works Dali created in the series and immediately follows the "Marriage of Romeo & Juliet by Death".
