Museo del Greco (Toledo)

Español: El Museo del Greco, situado en la ciudad de Toledo, (España), contiene obras del pintor manierista Doménikos Theotokópoulos, que es más conocido como El Greco y nació en la isla de Creta, aunque la mayor parte de su vida residió y trabajó en Toledo. La institución se inauguró en 1911 como casa-museo para reunir obras del artista cretense, que comenzaba a ser revalorizado, y para reflejar cómo vivió, aunque también alberga numerosas obras pictóricas de otros autores.

English: The El Greco Museum (in Spanish: Museo del Greco) is located in the city of Toledo, (Spain). It celebrates the mannerist painter El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos, 1541–1614), who spent much of his life in Toledo, having been born in Fodele, Crete. The museum opened in 1911 and is located in the Jewish Quarter of Toledo. It consists of two buildings, a 16th-century house with a courtyard and an early 20th century building forming the museum, together with a garden. The house recreates the home of El Greco, which no longer exists. The museum houses many artworks by El Greco, especially from his late period.[3] There are also paintings by other 17th-century Spanish artists, as well as furniture from the period and pottery from Talavera de la Reina in the Province of Toledo.
