El Greco, born Doménikos Theotokópoulos, produced devotional paintings and portraits marked by elongated figures, flickering highlights, and an ecstatic palette rooted in Byzantine icon traditions and Venetian colorism. His Toledo workshop extended his distinctive manner across altarpieces and commissions throughout late sixteenth and early seventeenth century Spain.
