El Greco wasn't just a painter in Toledo. He was a true Renaissance guy, super cultured, with a massive library.

Dude was busy! Between 1597-1607, he was commissioned to paint chapels and monasteries simultaneously. Super productive.

He died comfy, financially and artistically fulfilled, in Toledo. What a way to go, right?

His wild style sparked Cubism! Picasso studied El Greco intensely, seeing a modern path in his work.

Not just Cubism, Expressionism too! Van Gogh's organic colors echo El Greco's approach. Mind-blowing.
