GRECO, El

Oil on canvas
91 × 66.5 cm

Spiritual light floods the composition as the Virgin recoils from Gabriel's arrival, their elongated figures twisting in divine encounter. El Greco's mystical vision defines Counter-Reformation spirituality through dramatic verticality and ethereal color, revolutionizing religious art in Spain.
