The Pictorial Art of El Greco: Transmaterialities, Temporalities,
and Media investigates El Greco's pictorial art as foundational to
the globalising trends manifested in the visual culture of early
modernity. It also exposes the figurative, semantic, and
allegorical senses that El Greco created to challenge an Italian
Renaissance-centered discourse. Even though he was guided by the
unprecedented burgeoning of devotional art in the post-Tridentine
decades and by the expressive possibilities of earlier religious
artifacts, especially those inherited from the apostolic past, the
author demonstrates that El Greco forged his own independent
trajectory. While his paintings have been studied in relation to
the Italian and Spanish school traditions, his pictorial art in a
global Mediterranean context continues to receive scant attention.
Taking a global perspective as its focus, the book sheds new light
on El Greco's highly original contribution to early Mediterranean
and multi-institutional configurations of the Christian faith in
Byzantium, Venice, Rome, Toledo, and Madrid.
