Domenikos Theotokopoulos (1541-1614), better known as El Greco, was born in Crete, where he first trained as a painter, before studying under Titian in Venice. In 1577, he settled in Toledo, Spain, where he was to create his more famous masterpieces. Considered a forerunner of modernism, he influenced several 20th-century artists.
