Greco au Grand Palais : 1ère grande exposition en France consacrée à ce grand artiste inclassable
- El Greco is an artist of the 16th century, unclassifiable and very original.
- He mainly painted religious subjects.
- Initially inspired by the Byzantine art of icon painters, his art evolved in contact with Italian painting. He uses his great imagination to propose new figurative solutions.
- His painting is very singular: the choice of very bright colors is unusual and the characters seem weightless.
- A painter of the 16th century, he was born in Crete and worked in Italy in Venice alongside Titian and in Rome. It was in Spain, in Toledo, that he was successful.
- A very original artist, El Greco has been made a madman, sometimes heretical, sometimes mystical. Some even, to justify the audacity of his palette, have imagined him with astigmatism!
- The Greco exhibition at the Grand Palais presents a beautiful retrospective with 75 works by the artist and is a unique opportunity to see in France the painting of this great artist with such an original style.
