<br/><br/> El Greco is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of art. Born about 1541 on the island of Crete, this most "Spanish" of all painters studied in Venice before finding his true spiritual home in Toledo, the seat of the Spanish Inquisition. In all his work -portraits, landscpaes, reliugious scenes- he painted the ecstasies and "dark nights" of the soul with an unparralleled eloquence and intensity. Yet, for all this spirituality, he is said to have lived in almost legendary luxury. His work was in great it was ignored. Today El Greco stands at the very apex of world popularity." contraportada
