Raiders of the Lost Art | Season 2: Episode 4 | El Greco - Lost in Time | Free Documentary History

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

El Greco was misjudged, rediscovered, and celebrated. He was the critic of great Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, as well as an inspiration to Paul Cezanne and Pablo Picasso. But there are several centuries between these stations. The documentary tells the story of the polarizing oddball, who was only declared a pioneer of modern expressionism long after his death. This painter is so cool - Who knew? Watch this doc - it’s pretty great.

Nobody mentioned Mannerism. Pity. No artist no matter how clever works in a vacuum ... El Greco could be described as a Venetian Mannerist ...interestingly like other Mannerists his style fell from favor because of Baroque art ... it's ironic that many considered him mad ... it was the Mannerists after all who developed the concept of furor divino ... divine madness ... a Platonic idea that was to provide inspiration to all Mannerists artists ...

Rebel, displaced wanderer disposed to transcend. What is to be other.

El Greco was a commercial artist
