It's a landscape that influenced a great artist. 

So it only makes sense that a great landscape photographer be tasked with capturing its essence.

The latest Dalí museum exhibition, "Clyde Butcher: Visions of Dalí’s Spain," opening June 16 and on display through Nov. 25, does just that. 

Turns out the man commissioned to take pictures of Dali's childhood landscapes for the exhibit is a big fan.

"I first saw Dalí's work in St. Pete in 1982," explained renowned nature photographer Clyde Butcher. "When I came to Florida, I was getting kind of tired of landscape, so I did some outer space stuff with the Dalí influence."

Dalí credited places like Cadeques and Catalonian coast for influencing his surrealistic works.

Now, Butcher eventually returned to his works in realism, and the large scale photographs he took of Dalí's homeland are a window into his inner world.

"We feel Dalí is revealed, his personality, his emotion, his soul is somewhat by these land forms,"said museum Executive Director Hank Hine.

Butcher traveled to Spain in February of 2017 with his wife Niki and daughter Jackie Obedorf for his commission. He told us through his study of Dalí, he could see his paintings in the pictures he was framing.

"And I would say 'Oh, this is where he was at he was probably looking, right here,'" said Butcher.

Forty-one pieces in all make up the exhibit, curated by Peter Tush, the museum’'s Curator of Education.

It the lens of one artist capturing the visions of another.

Butcher's photographs of Spain are also now a coffee table book, and the Dalí will host book signings with the artist June 30, Sept. 29, and Nov. 3.
