St Francis and Brother Pintura Identificación:: 62300 Vea nuestra galería en Suecia |
St Francis and Brother 230 x 148 mm Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid This engraving was made after a painting by El Greco (now in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa). Prints played a key role in religious propaganda. In the Hispanic world, it was Dutch artists who performed this task. As a result, Spain lacked skilled engravers who might have reproduced El Greco's work for a larger audience 230_x_148_mm_Biblioteca_Nacional,_Madrid_This_engraving_was_made_after_a_painting_by_El_Greco_(now_in_the_National_Gallery_of_Canada,_Ottawa)._Prints_played_a_key_role_in_religious_propaganda._In_the_Hispanic_world,_it_was_Dutch_artists_who_performed_this_task._As_a_result,_Spain_lacked_skilled_engravers_who_might_have_reproduced_El_Greco's_work_for_a_larger_audience |

The Purification of the Temple after Pintura Identificación:: 62327 Vea nuestra galería en Suecia |
The Purification of the Temple after 106 x 104 cm Parish Church of San Gin?s, Madrid This version of the subject dates from the last years of El Greco's career. It is assumed that the painting was partly executed by Jorge Manuel. However, it bears El Greco's signature and its quality is very high. The painting is very close to the version in the National Gallery in London. The most remarkable changes relate to the architectural setting. El Greco shifted the action from the Temple porch to the inner sanctuary. At the centre of the structure supporting the altarpiece is a tomb-like object with an obelisk. On the left there is a relief of the Expulsion of Adam and Eve, and above it a statue of a naked male figure who has been variously identified as Adam, his son Seth or an unidentified idol. The changes introduced into this version indicate El Greco's continuing reflection of the subject. He continued to add layers of interpretation to the end of his career 106_x_104_cm_Parish_Church_of_San_Gin?s,_Madrid_This_version_of_the_subject_dates_from_the_last_years_of_El_Greco's_career._It_is_assumed_that_the_painting_was_partly_executed_by_Jorge_Manuel._However,_it_bears_El_Greco's_signature_and_its_quality_is_very_high._The_painting_is_very_close_to_the_version_in_the_National_Gallery_in_London._The_most_remarkable_changes_relate_to_the_architectural_setting._El_Greco_shifted_the_action_from_the_Temple_porch_to_the_inner_sanctuary._At_the_centre_of_the_structure_supporting_the_altarpiece_is_a_tomb-like_object_with_an_obelisk._On_the_left_there_is_a_relief_of_the_Expulsion_of_Adam_and_Eve,_and_above_it_a_statue_of_a_naked_male_figure_who_has_been_variously_identified_as_Adam,_his_son_Seth_or_an_unidentified_idol._The_changes_introduced_into_this_version_indicate_El_Greco's_continuing_reflection_of_the_subject._He_continued_to_add_layers_of_interpretation_to_the_end_of_his_career |
