El Greco painted this picture in 1580. He may have based this picture on a picture in Pliny the Elder, or on a local fable. His use of light and shadow would not occur again until the 19th Century. He was ahead of his time. The original painting hangs in the Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain.

ReplyDeleteLove El Greco. He and Turner are my favorite non-modern painters.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expert but I certainly wouldn't have guess that picture was from the 1500s.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of art.
