El Greco | Cretan Master
The Burial of the Count of Orgaz
El Greco or Doménikos Theotokópoulos (1541 – April 7, 1614) has always been a personal favorite, mainly because of his influential Mannerist stylings. Some notable characteristics are..
“(a) jarring “acid” color sense, elongated and tortured anatomy, irrational perspective and light of his crowded composition, and obscure and troubling iconography.”
These features gave El Greco a unique style that puzzled his contemporaries, yet stood the test of time.
