Slavador Felipe Jacipo Dali was born on May 11, 1904, in the small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Dali was actually the third Salvidor Dali. His father was named Salvidor Dali, and he had an older brother, who had died 9 months before Dali's birth.
Because of the coincidental dates between the death of the first child and the birth of the second, Salvidor's parents chose to look at the second son as a reincarnation of the first one. He was taken to the grave of the older brother, and given free reign over the household. The royal treatment (according to Dali) by his parents was the result of their fears surrounding the death of the older son. This treatment and the always present shadow of his dead brother caused a shift in Dali's personality.
It's this treatment as a child that help to form Dali's personality and his obsession with decay and putrefaction. This is where many of his disturbing images of decaying corpses and insects come from.
