Around 1577 -1614 · Gaze, black and identity
Alleged self-portrait, Jeronimo de Cevallos, Francisco de Pisa and Cardinal Tavera show El Greco portraitist between intellectual presence, social status and identity sometimes discussed.
El Greco's portraits are sober in comparison to his religious visions. A dark background, a strawberry, a black garment and especially the face are enough to establish presence. The self-portrait remains presumed: tradition recognizes the artist without definitive proof. Jeronimo de Cevallos, lawyer and Toledan public man, appears with contained attention. Doctor Francisco de Pisa represents the scholarly world that surrounded El Greco. Cardinal Tavera, who died before the painter's arrival in Toledo, was painted from a death mask, which gives the portrait a special relationship to memory. The touch remains vivid, but it serves an individuality rather than an abstract ideal. There selection "Portraits of El Greco" notably compares Presumed Self-Portrait and Portrait of Jeronimo de Cevallos. His reading favors movement.
The portrait of El Greco removes almost all decor so that the face becomes the place of status, thought and memory.
