“As an heir to Byzantine tradition, El Greco was, so to speak, acclimatized to the miraculous; no need for him to imagine an upheaval in heaven before it could be made to intervene in the affairs of this world.”
Vallentin’s full-length biography, the first of its kind, is of El Greco, one of the strangest and most fascinating figures in the history of art.
