El Greco, born Doménikos Theotokópoulos in 1541 in Crete and died in 1614 in Toledo, was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. Known for his elongated figures and vivid, often turbulent compositions, El Greco's works such as 'The Burial of the Count of Orgaz' and 'View of Toledo' are celebrated for their spiritual intensity and unique style.
