El Greco paintings
El Greco, or Dominikos Theotokopulos, was born in Greece, which is where his nickname comes from. When he moved to Venice, he met the greatest Italian artists of 16th-century Europe. He was a student of Titian and was also inspired by the works of Tintoretto. However, it was only when he moved to Spain that he began to develop his own style, which differed significantly from the Renaissance canons of the time and was more related to contemporary painting. El Greco's works are characterized by strong contrasts, strong brush lines adding an effect of expression and mysticism.
El Greco's painting and the most famous copies of his works
What makes El Greco's paintings so special? Noteworthy are the figures that are always slightly elongated in his paintings, making them less realistic. This was a deliberate procedure used by El Greco, which was completely innovative at that time. The most common topics covered by the painter are biblical and mythological scenes. Additionally, not everyone knows it, but El Greco also designed altars and sculptures. This Greek artist was far ahead of his time. He didn't care about criticism, which can be seen in his works, which is why his character became an inspiration for later artists.

El Greco
El Greco's work was not appreciated for many years. In the 19th century, the elongated figures mentioned above were interpreted as a symptom of a visual defect, and not as a deliberate act of the artist. It was only at the end of this century that El Greco's paintings began to be looked at differently. The increased interest in his works during this period influenced the way German expressionists painted at that time. According to historians**, El Greco** was excellent in philosophy, architecture and sculpture, and spoke several languages.
