The Prado Museum's exhibition featuring El Greco's altarpieces provides a unique insight into the artist's early years in Spain, particularly his revolutionary approach to religious painting. Notably, The Assumption of the Virgin emphasizes his fresh style, devoid of typical Evangelical references. This exhibition, titled El Greco: Santo Domingo el Antiguo, gathers several of his masterpieces, including those commissioned upon his arrival in 1577. It illustrates how El Greco integrated his Italian training with Spanish tradition, changing the perception of altarpieces in the process.
El Greco's The Assumption of the Virgin, a monumental painting in the Prado Museum, reflects the artist's fresh approach to altarpiece art, drawn from Renaissance influences.
The exhibition, El Greco: Santo Domingo el Antiguo, showcases eight out of nine altarpieces created for the monastery, marking a significant moment in art history.
