If you have any sort of passing interest in the work of Domenikos Theotokopoulos, better known by his nickname, El Greco, this interesting exhibition on view at the Onassis Cultural Center through February 27th is worth a quick visit. The show “explores the artistic context from which El Greco emerged and displays the various eways in which he and his Cretan antecedents and contemporaries responded to visual influences from other parts of Europe.” While predominantly creating works in a Byzantine style, they also added elements of Late Gothic as well as Venetian painters as a result of the multiculturalness of Cretan society. El Greco was highly influenced by the Byzantine tradition but surprisingly, also influenced by Italian Mannerism as well as Venetian masters such as Titian and Tintoretto.
