London's National Gallery holds 4 works by El Greco (1541–1614) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Born in Crete and trained in Venice under Titian, El Greco settled in Toledo, Spain, where he spent the rest of his life. His elongated, intensely spiritual figures and otherworldly colour sense were so distinctive that later centuries dismissed him as eccentric — today he is recognised as one of the great originals in Western art.
