The purpose of this exhibition organised by El Prado Museum is to highlight the important influence that El Greco's work had on the origins of the most radically modern painting approaches, beginning with Édouard Manet and Paul Cézanne.

Of special importance is the analysis of El Greco's influence on Picasso and the origins of Cubism, as well as the decisive inspiration that the Cretan artist's work provided to the different Expressionist movements that emerged throughout the twentieth century in Europe and America.

This is a magnificent exhibition project, whose brilliant and astonishing insights will undoubtedly constitute a landmark regarding our knowledge and understanding of El Greco's work.
