El Greco was born in Crete in 1541 and died in Toledo, Spain in 1614.
El Greco was not a Renaissance painter. He is an example of Mannerism, which came after the Renaissance and opposed most of what the Renaissance painters had stood for.
The Adoration of the Shepherds - El Greco - was created in 1609.
Mannerism, as exemplified in El Greco's "View of Toledo," is characterized by its elongated forms, dramatic use of color, and complex compositions that often evoke emotional intensity. This painting notably diverges from the balanced harmony of the High Renaissance, showcasing a more turbulent sky and exaggerated perspective that convey a sense of unease. El Greco's unique style also emphasizes spirituality and individual expression, making it a significant work within the Mannerist movement. The interplay of light and shadow further enhances the painting's dramatic effect, marking it as a distinctive piece in art history.
