Virtual gallery of El Greco's paintings

El Greco was a Cretan-born painter, sculptor and architect. He left his birthplace for Venice in 1567. El Greco's three years in Venice profoundly influenced his style. In 1577, he emigrated to Toledo, Spain, where he lived and worked until the end of his life.

El Greco's oeuvre is divided in three main periods:

• Works he painted while he was still in Crete
• Works he painted while he was still in Venice and Rome
• Works he painted while he was still in Toledo

In the following presentation you can see some of his paintings.
