El Greco (1541 – 1614)
LECTURE OVERVIEW
Discover the Middle Ages in Spain through the visions and artworks of El Greco
****************************************
El Greco (1541 – 1614) was the most unusual painters of the 16th
century. He developed a unique style of painting that became extremely popular
with the church going Catholics of Spain, especially in Toledo.
El Greco could capture the “rapture” of faith in
the eyes of his subjects like no other painter of his time. He was a
master draftsman whose paintings combine courtly elegance with religious
fervor. He intentionally distorted forms to emphasize the spiritual quality of
a figure or event. His saints are ghostly creations of his imagination and his
portraits of noblemen are elegant and realistic.
Through the study of El Greco, one discovers the
historical and cultural foundations of Spain during its Middle Ages.
THE SPANISH MASTERS are a series of Educational and Introspective lectures highlighted with a multi-media slide show.
These lectures benefit both students and lovers of Spanish art, history and culture.
