{"product_id":"el-greco-christ-with-the-cross-fine-art-print","title":"El Greco — Christ with the Cross | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA half-length bearded man in a crown of thorns lifts his eyes upward, a few drops of blood at his temple and neck. He wears a deep teal cloak over a red tunic and holds a rough wooden cross against his shoulder, one pale hand spread on the beam and the other hanging over its lower end. Behind him the ground is a shifting blue-green with a faint pale light at his head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya reads the cross here as a sign of Christ's triumph over death rather than an instrument of torture, and the face as serene, not pained. The theme draws on The Imitation of Christ, written in the early fifteenth century. The museum points to El Greco's way of modelling volumes through colour and stretching bodies to show inner unrest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1590–1595; Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos, 1541–1614) was born in Crete, where he trained as an icon painter, and worked in Venice and Rome before settling in Toledo in 1577. There he painted altarpieces and portraits for the city's churches, monasteries and learned men, among them The Burial of the Count of Orgaz in Santo Tomé. His elongated figures, flickering light and cold, intense colour set him apart from every painter of his time; he was largely forgotten after his death and rediscovered around 1900, when artists from Cézanne to Picasso took him up. His work is held by the Prado, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art, Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
