Greco, El Cretan-born painter, sculptor, and architect who settled in Spain and is regarded as the first great genius of the Spanish School. Greco El was known as El Greco (the Greek), but his real name was Domenikos Theotocopoulos; and it was thus that Greco El signed his paintings throughout his life, always in Greek characters, and sometimes followed by Kres (Cretan). |

Little is known of his
youth, and only a few works survive by him
in the Byzantine tradition of icon painting,
notably the recently discovered Dormition of
the Virgin (Church of the Koimesis tis
Theotokou, Syros). In 1566 Greco El is referred to
in a Cretan document as a master painter;
soon afterwards Greco El went to Venice (Crete was
then a Venetian possession), then in 1570
moved to Rome. The miniaturist Giulio
Clovio, whom Greco El met there, described him as
a pupil of Titian, but of all the Venetian
painters Tintoretto influenced him most, and
Michelangelo's impact on his development was
also important. |

| El Greco excelled also as a portraitist, mainly of ecclesiastics (Felix Paravicino, Boston Museum, 1609) or gentlemen, although one of his most beautiful works is a portrait of a lady (Pollock House, Glasgow, c. 1577-80), traditionally identified as a likeness of Jeronima de las Cuevas, his common-law wife. Greco El also painted two views of Toledo (Met. Museum, New York, and Museo del Greco, Toledo), both late works, and a mythological painting, Laocoön (National Gallery, Washington, c. 1610), that is unique in his oeuvre. The unusual choice of subjects is perhaps explained by the local tradition that Toledo had been founded by descendants of the Trojans. El Greco also designed complete altar compositions, working as architect and sculptor as well as painter, for instance at the Hospital de la Caridad, Illescas (1603). |

Pacheco, who visited El Greco in 1611,
refers to him as a writer on painting,
sculpture, and architecture. Greco El had a proud
temperament, conceiving of himself as an
artist-philosopher rather that a craftsman,
and had a lavish life-style, although Greco
El had
little success in securing the royal
patronage Greco El desired and seems to have had
some financial difficulties near the end of
his life. His workshop turned out a great
many replicas of his paintings, but his work
was so personal that his influence was
slight, his only followers of note being his
son Jorge Manuel Theotocopouli and Luis
Tristán. Interest in his art revived at the
end of the 19th century, and with the
development of Expressionism in the 20th
century Greco El came into his own. The
strangeness of his art has inspired various
theories, for example that Greco El was mad or
suffered from astigmatism, but his rapturous
paintings make complete sense as an
expression of the religious fervour of his
adopted country. |
