"The Burial of Count Orgaz" by El Greco

The canvases of this great Spanish artist cannot be confused with any other works: El Greco’s characters have elongated faces and bodies as if some higher force is pulling them upwards.
An original manner of the author emphasizes the deep religious nature of his works and is fully revealed in the altar picture “The Burial of Count Orgaz”.
The canvas of the great El Greco “The Burial of Count Orgaz” is inexhaustible in its depth: it is the synthesis of painting and philosophy, historical facts and legends, unusual emotionality and the workmanship of the artist.
