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.
El Greco's elongated ecstatic figures and extraordinary colour sense were so distinctive that later centuries dismissed him as eccentric; now he is recognised as one of the great originals of Western art. His paintings have an almost electric intensity in person that reproduction consistently fails to convey.

Planning your visit to London
Most major national museums in London are free to enter permanently — the National Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, and National Portrait Gallery all charge nothing for the permanent collection. The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House and the Wallace Collection are also free. Pre-booking is rarely needed for permanent collections but recommended for major temporary exhibitions.
