El Greco, born Doménikos Theotokópoulos, was a Greek painter, sculptor, and architect who became a key figure of the Spanish Renaissance. Known for his bold use of color, elongated figures, and spiritual intensity, El Greco developed a highly distinctive style that combined Byzantine tradition with Western Mannerism. His visionary works, often focused on religious themes, are celebrated for their emotional depth and otherworldly atmosphere, making him a forerunner of both Expressionism and modern art.

About Christ Carrying the Cross
"Christ Carrying the Cross" is one of the finest devotional image by El Greco where he depicts Christ's willing sacrifice for mankind is expressed through his gentle embrace of the cross and his heavenward gaze. In El Greco’s treatment of the subject he departs strongly from the suffering type of Christ, bent under the weight of the cross, and established a new type in which the Savior looks rapturously up to God, and embraces the cross as an instrument of his own salvation. A golden, crepuscular warmth of Venetian colors and light adds more sentimental sweetness to the Savior's figure.
