Centuries before modern art emerged, El Greco was creating visionary paintings unlike anything the world had ever seen. Born on the island of Crete, shaped by Venice and Rome, and ultimately finding his artistic home in Toledo, he developed a style so original that it was misunderstood for generations.
This documentary follows El Greco's remarkable journey from Byzantine icon painter to one of history's most influential artists. It explores his struggles in Italy, his greatest masterpieces in Spain, the centuries of obscurity that followed his death, and how artists such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, and the Expressionists finally recognized him as one of the true pioneers of modern art.
