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.
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.

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.
