Description
El Greco's Apostles of Christ by Barbara Griffin.
El Greco (Domenico Theotokokopoulos) (1541-1614) Crete born painter, sculptor, architect, moved to Spain around 35 years old.
These apostles are not the original disciples. St. Paul replaced Judas after the betrayal.
El Greco painted in an expressive style using size distortions in human features and bold colors. Each apostles portrait was painted separately by the artist.
Each image has been digitally manipulated to produce a sketch effect and distorted background in keeping with the El Greco style.
