This painting appears to be an evolution from Salvator Rosa's Temptation of St Anthony (1645) and Max Ernst "The Virgin Spanking the Christ Child before Three Witnesses: Andre Breton, Paul Eluard, and the Painter", along the trail of the Henu Barque. From Max Ernst's painting, a suggestion of this sense of a shadow evolved through Sodoma (1929) by Alberto Savinio and "Acompañamiento sin copado (staccato)"(c. 1928-1930) by Frantisek Kupka, but once it got to Dali, the idea took on a form that sent the shadow in new directions for people to reference over time

However this trail begins before the painting as a portrait was known to have been started. I might wonder then if a important part of the painting had been started before it became repurposed as a portrait of Emilio Terry. If so Sergei Eisenstein and HP Lovecraft would have seen a black and white photo of the the composition in 1931 during the time of the "Newer Super-Realism" exhibition in America in 1931 at the Wadsworth Atheneum. But, if an element of the painting existed before Emilio was added, we haven't seen such an image.

In the second half of the 20th Century of the painting appeared to become referenced in the poster for Land that time forgot poster and its sequel. Appears as if Giger referenced "The land that time forgot"
poster as well in at least one Mordor painting. The Dali painting meanwhile was referenced in "Inhuman Rearing" by Viktor Safonkin. In the twenty first century, we find the image referenced by Moebius in an illustration and then concept illustrations for Alien Covenant by Stephane Levallois

1426

Resurrection of Christ by Mast Franke

One of the Resurrection of Christ paintings popular during the 15th Century that appeared to reference the Henu Barque in a variety of ways.

1926

1926.a) "The Virgin Spanking the Christ Child before Three Witnesses: Andre Breton, Paul Eluard, and the Painter" by Max Ernst

References?

Resurrection of Christ (1426) by Master Franke. Perhaps there's the idea that Max Ernst decided to reference this painting because it was painted the same year but from different centuries.

1929

Sodoma (1929) by Alberto Savinio

1931

1931. a) "Crucifixion as a bullfight" by Sergei Eisenstein

References?

It's as if Eisenstein found out about the dark sculptural form from Dali's Portrait of Emilo Terry ahead of the time it was turned into a portrait, perhaps by the same means that HP Lovecraft did,
Eisenstein also appear to realised how Dali's painting tied in with Salvador Rosa's Temptation of St Anthony.

HR Giger would later reference this drawing in a great beast concept painting for Poltergeist 2

1931. b) See: Evolution of Lovecrafts Elder Things / Old Ones

References ?

As if Lovecraft himself is being labeled as one of the Henu Barquers, because of an initial sketch he did for his Elder Thing that he crossed out in his letter, and this would also tie in with knowledge of the Henu Barque design to be found on the outside of the Egyptian Theatre cinema in Hollywood.
I suspect that he would have found out about the dark sculptural form in Dali's Portrait of Emilio Terry ahead of time by the same means that Sergei Eisenstein did, which he found inspiring for his ideas but he realised that he had to do something very different for his own creature.

1934

1934. a) See: Portrait of Mr Emilio Terry (unfinished) by Salvador Dali

Perhaps the shadowy sculpture was painted first of all around 1930, before being repurposed as a portrait of Emilio Terry in the following years and finished in 1934.
It has often been dated to 1930 however it is a bit strange to wonder why.

If the shadowy sculpture had been painted, before the composition was to be used as a portrait, then it was made known to various people in America during the time of a surrealist exhibition,

References?

The painting appears to reference the Henu Barque
Salvator Rosa's Temptation of St Anthony which seems to belong to another trail stemming from something yet to be realised.
"The Virgin Spanking the Christ Child before Three Witnesses: Andre Breton, Paul Eluard, and the Painter" by Max Ernst (1926)
Then it appears that Dali saw "Sodoma" (1929) by Alberto Savinio because it appeared to reference Max Ernst's painting
It also looks as if he saw "Acompanamiento sincopado (staccato)" by Frantisek Kupka which also appeared to reference Savinio's Sodoma which seemed to be from the 1928-1930 time period.

Referenced by?

HP Lovecraft seems to have referenced the shadowy sculpture in his initial Elder Thing sketch in 1931
Sergei Eisenstein seems to have referenced it for his Bullfight as crucifixion drawing in 1931.
It looks as if it been referenced in the design of the Excessive Machine in 1968
Roland Topor would reference it in an untitled drawing in 1975
