El Greco
El Greco, born Domenikos Theotokopoulos in 1541 in Crete, was a prominent painter, sculptor, and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. Renowned for his dramatic use of color and elongated figures, he became a leading figure in the development of the mannerist style. El Greco moved to Spain in 1577, where he created masterpieces that combined Byzantine traditions with Western painting techniques, significantly influencing the art world, including the works of later artists such as Picasso.
