About El Greco

El Greco (1541–1614), "the Greek", was born Domenikos Theotokopoulos on Crete, then a possession of Venice, probably in Candia (Heraklion). He trained as an icon painter in the Byzantine tradition, becoming a master by 1563. He then moved to Venice, where he worked under Titian and absorbed the work of Tintoretto, and by 1570 he was in Rome studying Michelangelo and Raphael. By 1577 he had settled in Toledo, Spain, where he lived for the rest of his life and died on 7 April 1614.

El Greco painted mainly religious works for churches and religious houses. His figures are long and flame-like, his colours cool and sharp, and his skies restless, a highly personal style that grew out of Byzantine icons and Venetian painting. The Burial of the Count of Orgaz (1586–88) is his most famous altarpiece; View of Toledo dates from 1596–1600. Largely neglected after his death, El Greco was rediscovered by modern artists: Picasso studied his work while making Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907).

El Greco prints: reproductions of paintings by El Greco, the Cretan-born painter who worked in Venice, Rome and Toledo, made between about 1570 and 1610. The collection includes View of Toledo (1599), Cardinal Fernando Niño de Guevara (1600), Laocoön (1610), The Vision of Saint John (1608) and Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple (1570).

Most of this selection is religious: scenes from the life of Christ, the Annunciation, the Assumption and single figures of saints such as Peter, Andrew, Jerome and the Magdalene. It also includes portraits of Toledo churchmen and scholars, Boy Blowing an Ember, and both his views of Toledo. The figures are long and the colours cool and sharp, with greys, greens, crimsons and stormy skies.

The dramatic religious works suit studies, libraries and hallways; View of Toledo and the portraits work well in a living room or office. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
