Salvador Dali

In this episode, host Charlie Connelly looks at the life of Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. By his own admission, at the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon and his ambition only grew from this age. His combination of flamboyance, wit and talent made him one of the most recognisable artists of the age, a fame that was further assisted by his gravity-defining and always immaculate moustache. To this day, the quality of his work endures as potently as the self-belief of the man himself. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean
