All GRECO, El Oil Paintings

Greek-born Spanish Mannerist Painter, 1541-1614 Greek painter, designer and engraver, active in Italy and Spain. One of the most original and interesting painters of 16th-century Europe, he transformed the Byzantine style of his early paintings into another, wholly Western manner. He was active in his native Crete, in Venice and Rome, and, during the second half of his life, in Toledo. He was renowned in his lifetime for his originality and extravagance and provides one of the most curious examples of the oscillations of taste in the evaluation of a painter,

Painting ID::  62300 		  230 x 148 mm Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid This engraving was made after a painting by El Greco (now in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa). Prints played a key role in religious propaganda. In the Hispanic world, it was Dutch artists who performed this task. As a result, Spain lacked skilled engravers who might have reproduced El Greco's work for a larger audience

GRECO, El The Purification of the Temple after oil on canvas

The Purification of the Temple after
Painting ID::  62327 		  106 x 104 cm Parish Church of San Gin?s, Madrid This version of the subject dates from the last years of El Greco's career. It is assumed that the painting was partly executed by Jorge Manuel. However, it bears El Greco's signature and its quality is very high. The painting is very close to the version in the National Gallery in London. The most remarkable changes relate to the architectural setting. El Greco shifted the action from the Temple porch to the inner sanctuary. At the centre of the structure supporting the altarpiece is a tomb-like object with an obelisk. On the left there is a relief of the Expulsion of Adam and Eve, and above it a statue of a naked male figure who has been variously identified as Adam, his son Seth or an unidentified idol. The changes introduced into this version indicate El Greco's continuing reflection of the subject. He continued to add layers of interpretation to the end of his career
