An iconography crossed by three cultures
Uniting the Cretan icon, Venetian color and Toledan momentum
Trained as an icon painter in Crete, then active in Venice, Rome and Toledo, El Greco often takes up the Virgin Mary. His first Annunciations interact with Titian and Tintoretto; Spanish works accentuate the elongation of bodies, the depth of blues and reds and the spiritual light which seems to be born inside the figures. The selection "The Virgin Mary by El Greco" notably compares Pietà and The Adoration of the Shepherds - Bucharest. His reading favors the material.
In El Greco, the light does not only fall on Mary: she seems to pass through her body and open the visible space.
