Best Answer

Surrealism as a movement started in Paris in 1924. Therefore the first surrealist painting should be by either André Masson or Joan Miró.

However many of Max Ernst's paintings in the early 1920s could be seen as surrealistic before the term existed. Even more interesting is Giorgio de Chirico who from 1910/11 painted what he called pittura metafisica (metaphysical paintings). They have many traits in common with Surrealism.

So:

There is no simple answer to your question. Dali? No, he joined the gang after 1925.
