1 work across 1 institution

Prague's National Gallery Prague 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 Prague

Prague's main museums are in the historic centre and easily walked to. The National Gallery's collection is spread across several palace buildings — verify which building holds the works you want to see before visiting. Many Czech museums offer free entry on the first Wednesday of the month.
