GRECO, El (b. 1541, Candia, d. 1614, Toledo) |
The Annunciation1600sOil on canvas, 128 x 83 cm Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, Ohio | |
The colour and ecstatic movement is of the utmost splendour and grace, appropriate to the presentation of this particular Mystery, one of El Greco's favourite themes. The painting is a later and simpler version of the subject painted for the Colegio de Doña Maria, Madrid. |
