1 work across 1 institution

Milan's Pinacoteca di Brera holds 1 work 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 Milan

Milan's major art sites are well connected by metro. The Pinacoteca di Brera is in the Brera district (M2 to Lanza), while Santa Maria delle Grazie — home to The Last Supper — requires advance booking months in advance. Leonardo's Last Supper has very limited viewing slots; book as early as possible.
