During the early Renaissance Period (such as the mid-to-late 1400s) Spain was still involved in unification wars and the expulsion of Muslim Rulers. As a result, Spain was in no position to take the enlightened view of the Arts and Humanism that was prevailing in Northern Italy at the time. Spain also remained much more religious for a longer period of time because of the religious fervor required to embolden Christians on a holy war to "liberate" Spain from the "heathen" Muslims. In the later Renaissance (such as the mid-to-late 1500s), Spain was distinguished from other countries by its extreme relative wealth due to its expansive colonization of the Americas. This wealth would be completely consumed and abused in the 1600s because of the Wars of Religion (like the Eighty Years War and the Thirty Years War).

El Greco is important because he helped to preserve the cultural tradition of the Renaissance and capture of the spirit of the new reformation. He allowed the two to be merged into his work which is now mostly in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. He is perhaps the most interesting mannerist artist.
El Greco was a Greek artist who was born around 1541. His worked showed that he was a master of the Spanish Renaissance. He died on April 7, 1614 in Toledo, Spain.
The Renaissance begins in Italy, in the co called trecento (14th century), its artist is before all Giotto di Bondone, the writers are Giovanni Boccacio, Francesco Petrarca and, most the most important Dante Alighieri. The most important germ of Renaissance is the translation (and rescue) of Aristotle's philosophy, done by the Arabs in Spain: The struggle about it, whether it had to be taught in christian world or should be forbidden - as pope Gregor IX did in 1231 - passes the 13th century: Once the realistic philosophy adopted (and the plague survived), a new science, a new kind of thinking and even of being begins - inspired by the model of ancient culture. Or, models of ancient culture were rare in other countries than in Italy - at least in non-orthodox christian Europe, beyond of byzantine world. English Renaissance only started when the Tudors arose, after the Wars of Roses.
'El Greco' was the nickname used by Domenikos Theotokopoulos, an artist, painter and sculptor who was born in Crete, Greece, but that developed most of his artistic work in Spain, giving shape to the Spanish Renaissance. He was the son of rich merchant Georgios Theotokopoulos, but there's no information about his mother.
