  • Product Description

    The bold and unusual religious paintings of El Greco (c. 1541 - 1614) have aroused widespread interest and wonder, but until now little has been known about the artist's patrons. This is the first comprehensive study of the several individuals who financed, encouraged and influenced El Greco's extraordinary artistic endeavours. Mann reconstructs the lives of several of the artist's patrons and demonstrates fow El Greco's pictorial ensemble reflected the patrons' concerns, who helped to shape both the style and iconography of the paintings. The precise nature of the connection between the paintings and Spanish mysticism is clarified. The author provides us the basis for a new interpretation of the artist's work and presents many insight into life in 16th-century Spain.
