El Greco (History of Spanish Art Book 30) Details
Interactive eBook. Towards the last third of the 16th century, an exceptional painter came to Spain: Domenico Theotocopulos, known to us as El Greco. Before and after him, other painters arrived, such as Cincinato, Cambiaso, Zuccaro, Tibaldi, etc., most of them finding patronage at the court of Philip II -but they were all lesser artists -as would also be the case in the 17th century. In comparison to them, El Greco is an unrivalled and unpredictable personage. In spite of his Cretan ascent ("El Greco" means "The Greek"), he has often been claimed to be either Venetian or Spanish, because it was within these two traditions where he received training and carried out his work.
