My name is Menes, and today I'm going to talk about El Greco.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,519
El Greco was a famous painter of the Spanish Renaissance and the modern age.

3
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:18,829
El Greco was born on the 1st of October of 1541 in Crete, in the Republic of Venice.

4
00:00:18,829 --> 00:00:27,829
He lived for 24 years in Greece, then he lived 10 years in Italy, in Rome.

5
00:00:27,829 --> 00:00:37,829
Later, in 1577, he went to Toledo, Spain, where he lived the rest of his life.

6
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:43,829
During his life, Enrico painted more than 100 paintings.

7
00:00:43,829 --> 00:00:47,829
For example, El Bautista de Jesús, Sagrada Familia.

8
00:00:47,829 --> 00:00:53,829
Enrico died the 7th of April in 1614.

9
00:00:53,829 --> 00:01:05,620
These are some paintings of his painting, Salada Familia and Caballero de Armando en el Valle.

10
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:16,819
Salada loved his paintings but less to his family. He had a wife called Jerónima de las Cuevas and a son called Octavio.

11
00:01:16,819 --> 00:01:29,579
In his paintings he was very different to the other painters. He saw his paintings with his name, but in red, to show his very quality.

Thank you.
