El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos)

El Greco, born Domenikos Theotokopoulos, was a painter of the Spanish Renaissance whose elongated figures and expressive handling of light mark his distinctive style. Oil on canvas carries every one of the nine works gathered here, spanning the years 1570 to 1610. Subjects range from religious scenes such as The Adoration of the Shepherds and Christ Healing the Blind to portraits and the landscape of View of Toledo. Where dates run past the artist's lifetime, the range reflects impressions up to 1610 rather than works painted in those years.
