All day
The Burial of the Count of Orgaz is a 1586 painting by El Greco, a prominent Renaissance painter, sculptor, and architect of Greek origin. Widely considered among his finest works, it illustrates a popular local legend of his time. An exceptionally large painting, it is divided into two sections, heavenly above and terrestrial below, but it gives little impression of duality, since the upper and lower sections are brought together compositionally. El Greco, 1586 — painted at 45. Canvas and oil paint. 480 × 360 cm. In the Church of Santo Tomé. Mannerism. Wiki link
