El Greco died in Toledo in 1614, aged 73. His work, in characterising dynamic & colour over naturalism, is considered the most mannered of his time & was to have great impact on later artists. Opening of the 5th Seal (1608-14), Fray Hortensio (1609) & Laocoön (1610)

St Martin & the Beggar (1597-9), The Annunciation (1597-1600) & Virgin & Child (1597-9). It would not be until the art of Chagall such spiritual illumination would be found again in art.

From the turn of the century he created some of his greatest works - carrying out a number of commissions for religious bodies in the city. A key part of his work was the use of light in almost hallucinatory form. Agony in the Garden (c1590), Gentleman (1590s) & Virgin (1591)

The artist’s style has inspired generations of painters & his work could be described as proto-Expressionist. The Resurrection (1584-94), St Louis & his Page (c1585-90) & St Dominic in Prayer (1586-90)

By 1577 El Greco had moved to Spain. It’s likely that his reported arguments with both artists & patrons led him to seek his fortune in Madrid & Toledo. Allegory (1577-9) & St Sebastian (1577-8

In 1572 he opened his own workshop in Rome & had assistants helping him. Vincenzo Anastagi (1571-6), Annunciation (c1575) & Mary Magdalene (1576-8). In a period of deep religiosity his images expressed that piety with genius.

In 1570 he moved to Rome. El Greco combined the styles of Italy with his Greek icon training. He used the elongated & elegant forms of Tintoretto to inform his art & create his mannered style. Annunciation (1568), Boy (1570-2) & Mount Sinai (1570-2)

Together with with Akseli Gallen-Kalela & Jean Sibelius, Halonen helped create a strong sense of Finnish identity. Kotakoski (1932), Boys Swimming (nd), Children Reading (1916) & Girl Writing (1911)

His paintings are often set around his house which has now been turned into a museum. Sauna (1925), Building a Croft (1925), A Lake Landscape (1927) & Summer Idyll (1931)

His painting On the Water is a later masterpiece. He successfully captured mood, atmosphere & light in a decidedly Finnish way. On the Water (1922), Summer Sports (1922), Winter Motif (1922) & Winter (1923)
