St Sebastian (1610-14), View & Plan of Toledo (1610) & Picasso’s (c1899) painting inspired by El Greco (1590s). That El Greco was a giant is demonstrated by Picasso’s fascination with him. Do search him out!

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.

He was recognised by his contemporaries in the city as one of its greatest men. Despite this the religious were notoriously bad at paying their bills & so El Greco had financial issues. Toledo (1596-1600), St Francis (c1595) & Holy Family (1595-1600)

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)

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. Lady (1577-80), Allegory (1577-9) & St Sebastian (1577-8). Some have questioned the Lady Portrait which is in Glasgow.

Thread: Doménikos Theotokópoulos, known as El Greco (1541-1614) was a Greek artist who became one of the most famous Spanish mannerist painters. His highly emotional spiritual images have a hallucinatory beauty.

In 1915 the artist painted his mother, a woman who had a strong impact on him. Also shown are two early sel-portraits (1903 & 1906). Hopper’s work as an artist matured into the style we know today around 1920

To accept yourself as who you are is a way to understand others & to appreciate what it is to walk in their shoes or that their path is different. It is about dignity. It is about empathy.
