      abstract = {Publisher's description: A much anticipated, wide-ranging  survey of works by one of the world's greatest artists. El  Greco (1541-1614), born Domenikos Theotokopoulos, was one  of the most fascinating and distinctive artists of the  sixteenth century. His works are immediately recognizable  for their brilliant colors, elongated figures, and  spiritual intensity. Initially trained in Crete, in around  1567 El Greco moved to Italy where he purportedly studied  with Titian. A decade later he is documented in Toledo  (south of Madrid), and he spent the rest of his long life  in Spain. His paintings and writings offer a thoughtful,  frequently inspired response to the varied environments in  which he worked--and they reveal that he was deeply engaged  with the religious and artistic thinking of his times. This  lavishly illustrated book--the first comprehensive  English-language publication on El Greco in many  years--addresses the full range of the artist's work in  painting and sculpture, from his Byzantine icons to his  late altarpieces. It considers his personality from both a  religious and intellectual point of view, and presents the  artist's religious, mythological, genre, landscape, and  portrait works, providing the historical context in which  they were made. El Greco is the catalogue for an exhibition  organized jointly by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New  York, and the National Gallery, London. The exhibition  opens in New York in October 2003, and moves to London in  February 2004.},
