El Greco was born in crete, a small island in the Mediterranean belonging to Greece. Therefore, by birth El Greco is Greek, and not Spanish. In fact, his nickname "El Greco" means "The Greek" in Spanish. He also signed many of his works with his full Greek name. There is of course, a popular misconception that El Greco is a Spanish painter because many of his most famous works were completed while he lived in Spain, and because he is known today by his Spanish nickname.
