Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Cretan-born painter Domenicos Theotocopoulos, better known by his Spanish nickname, El Greco (c.1545-1614), studied under Titian in Venice before settling down in Toldeo. Commissioned by the church and local nobility, El Greco produced dramatic paintings marked by distorted figures and vibrant colour contrasted with subtle grays. Though his work was appreciated by his contemporaries, especially intellectuals, it wasn't until the 20th century that it was widely embraced and admired, influencing in particular the Expressionist movement.

Rated by buyers -
This book contains a basic summary of El Greco's life accompanied by a good number of excellent reproductions of a his works. I bought it mainly for the images, which are the usual high Taschen quality one has come to expect. For what you get for the price, the Taschen Basic Art series of books are a great value.
