🎨 El Greco (Doménikos Theotokópoulos), born in Crete in 1541, was a visionary painter whose unique style bridged the Byzantine, Renaissance, and Mannerist traditions.

His artistic journey unfolded in three key stages:
🇬🇷 Crete – Master of Byzantine iconography (St. Luke Painting the Virgin, Dormition of the Virgin).
🇮🇹 Italy – Influenced by Titian, Tintoretto, and Michelangelo, mastering light, color, and anatomy (The Last Supper, The Annunciation).
🇪🇸 Spain (Toledo) – His mature period, inspired by the Counter-Reformation, produced masterpieces like The Disrobing of Christ and The Burial of the Count of Orgaz.

El Greco also painted notable portraits (The Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest) and religious altarpieces for Toledo and Madrid. Though he never became court painter for Philip II, his distinctive elongated figures, mystical light, and spiritual intensity made him one of the great geniuses of Spanish art.

🖌️ His final works — including View of Toledo and Laocoön — mark the culmination of a style that influenced modern masters like Picasso and Cézanne.
