Salvador Dalí was fascinated by this work, and wrote an analysis of it, The Tragic Myth of The Angelus of Millet.

Dalí was also of the opinion that the two figures were praying over their buried child, rather than to the Angelus.

Dalí was so insistent on this fact that eventually an X-ray was done of the canvas, confirming his suspicions: the painting contains a painted-over geometric shape strikingly similar to a coffin.

Later in 1934, Dalí was subjected to a " trial ", in which he was formally expelled from the Surrealist group.

While Dalí may have been excommunicated by Breton, he neither abandoned his themes from the 1930s, including references to the " persistence of time " in a later painting, nor did he become a depictive pompier.

Dalí attributed his " love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes " to a self-styled " Arab lineage ", claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors.
