Paper ISBN 07696-7 $16.95 New El Greco Xavier Bray New Chronology by Lois Oliver Despite his highly successful career, El Greco was unappreciated for centuries after his death; this book examines how his genius came to light again in the nineteenth century. It follows El Greco from his native island of Crete to Venice, Rome, Madrid, and then Toledo, the ecclesiastical capital of Spain. The artist’s unique ability to assimilate different artistic techniques and approaches to religion and philosophy enabled him to develop one of the most original styles of painting in the history of European art. 2004 48 pp. 25 color illus.
