Description



El Greco and the Spanish Golden Age
Tudor Publishing Company | 1969 | English | 144 pages | PDF | 18.2 MB

It is one of the more beguiling accidents of history that an itinerant Greek painter, largely trained in Venice, should have so perfectly expressed the Spanish soul on canvas. El Greco did not even set foot in Spain until well into his thirty-fifth year. We can presume that his style must have largely been set by that time. Yet something was missing which only the supercharged religiosity of Toledo could supply, and, conversely, something was missing from Spanish painting until El Greco arrived. In the mystical and stormy paintings which resulted, with their writhing, elongated, transcendental figures, with their strange lighting and vivid greens, pinks and blues, El Greco created the mirror in which the Spaniard saw himself.
