El Greco

El Greco
Born: 1541. Candia, Crete
Died: April 7, 1614. Toledo, Spain. A representative Spanish painter. His real name was Doménikos Theotokópoulos. He studied in Venice and Rome and was influenced by the Venetian school, especially by Tintoretto and Jacopo Bassano. He later traveled to Spain and settled in Toledo from 1577 onwards. While absorbing the traditions of Spanish art, he established his own style and produced many excellent religious paintings and portraits. In 1586, he established an unshakable reputation with his Burial of Count Orgaz at the Santo Tomé Cathedral. This is a mysterious religious painting that shows sharp realism in the lower half of the burial scene and unrestrained fantasy in the depiction of the heavenly realm in the upper half. Other works include The Deprivation of the Sacrament (1577-79, Toledo Cathedral), The Martyrdom of Saint Mauritius (1580-82, El Escorial Monastery), and Laocoön (1610-14, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC).

スペインの代表的画家。本名 Doménikos Theotokópoulos。ベネチア,ローマで修業し,ベネチア派,特にティントレットとヤコポ・バッサーノの影響を受けた。のちにスペインに渡り,1577年以降はトレドに定住し,スペイン美術の伝統を吸収しながら独自の画風を確立し,優れた宗教画,肖像画を数多く残した。1586年,サント・トメ聖堂の『オルガス伯爵の埋葬』で不動の名声を確立。これは下半部の埋葬場面では先鋭な写実力を示し,上半部の天上界の描写では奔放な幻想性をみせる神秘的な宗教画である。その他の作品には『聖衣剥奪』(1577~79,トレド大聖堂),『聖マウリティウスの殉教』(1580~82,エルエスコリアル修道院),『ラオコーン』(1610~14,ワシントンD.C.,ナショナル・ギャラリー)などがある。
