Domenico Theotokópoulos, called El Greco



Domenico Theotokópoulos, called El Greco is a Mannerism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Art Institute of Chicago.
El Greco painted dramatic, elongated figures in oil on canvas, blending late Renaissance technique with something more spiritual and restless. In *The Assumption of the Virgin* (1577–79), he stacks saints in a swirling sky, while *Saint Martin and the Beggar* (c. 1597–1600) splits the canvas between a saint’s charity and a beggar’s raw need. His figures stretch like flames, refusing to stay still. Tap *Saint Francis Kneeling in Meditation* to see how he turns prayer into a dance of light and shadow.
