Today there is a huge contradiction in the fine arts. There is no style, sensibility and beauty. After Picasso and Matisse the art world is a total mess.
I made a fabulous journey: from your USA-channel-favorites-El Greco towards Greece-HellenicMagic-El Greco back to you and this video, this one.
It is a beautiful combination.
It seems as if there is always the same person who is the central figure in the paintings: watch the faces.
Is that El Greco himself?
Would not be surprised.
He tells a lot with his way of choosing colours, expressing moods in eyes and faces, about Christianity, and how the soul must have been too much restrained
Yes, El Greco frequently included himself in his paintings. Lots of painters did it in those days. Now we hit the timer and jump iknto our own photographs. :-) John
By the way: you were a more beautiful and less serious pope than this one, in the video, in your Photoshopfamily with you, "jumped" into the face of him :-), maybe family of the Borgia's? :-) (You know them, don't you?)
so did he know Jesus

I love his poignant,elongated figures and the wild skies in the backgrounds of some of his paintings,really expressionistic.
