Commentary


Le Grec, né Doménikos Theotokópoulos (1541 - 7 avril 1614), est un peintre, sculpteur et architecte de la Renaissance espagnole . "Le Grec" était un surnom, une référence à son origine nationale grecque, et l'artiste signait normalement ses peintures avec son nom de naissance complet en lettres grecques , Δομήνικος Θεοτοκόπουλος ( Doménikos Theotokópoulos ), en ajoutant souvent le mot Κρής ( Krēs , « Crétois »). Le Grec est né en Crète, qui faisait alors partie de la République de Venise et était le centre de l'art post-byzantin. Il se forme et devient un maître dans cette tradition avant de se rendre, à l'âge de 26 ans, à Venise, comme l'avaient fait d'autres artistes grecs. En 1570, il s'installe à Rome, où il ouvre un atelier et exécute une série d'œuvres. Pendant son séjour en Italie, le Grec enrichit son style d'éléments du maniérisme et de la Renaissance vénitienne. En 1577, il s'installe à Tolède, en Espagne, où il vit et travaille jusqu'à sa mort. C'est à Tolède que le Grec reçut plusieurs commandes importantes et réalisa ses peintures les plus connues..
The Greek, born Doménikos Theotokópoulos (1541 – 7 April 1614), was a painter, sculptor, and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. \\\"The Greek\\\" was a nickname, a reference to his Greek national origin, and the artist normally signed his paintings with his full birth name in Greek letters, Δομήνικος Θεοτοκόπουλος (Doménikos Theotokópoulos), often adding the word Κρής (Krēs, \\\"Cretan\\\"). The Greek was born in Crete, which was then part of the Republic of Venice and the center of post-Byzantine art. He trained and became a master in this tradition before going, at the age of 26, to Venice, as other Greek artists had done. In 1570, he moved to Rome, where he opened a studio and executed a series of works. During his stay in Italy, the Greek enriched his style with elements of Mannerism and the Venetian Renaissance. In 1577, he moved to Toledo, Spain, where he lived and worked until his death. It was in Toledo that the Greek received several important commissions and created his most famous paintings.

Historical background


SPAIN - KINGDOM OF SPAIN - PHILIP III

(1598-1621)

Philip III (1578-1621) is the third son of Philip II, from his fourth marriage, that with Ana of Austria. On the death of his father in 1598, he became king of Spain and the Americas, Portugal, the Spanish Netherlands and the Milanese. He continued his father's fight against France, but with the Edict of Nantes, the end of the religious wars and the personality of Henri IV, this policy failed. He then began an economic war in order to asphyxiate France by imposing 30% duty on goods coming or going to France in 1603. Henri IV replied by imposing the same taxes on goods to or from Spain. After the death of Henri IV, Philippe married his daughter Anne of Austria (1601-1666) to the young Louis XIII in 1615, while the latter's sister, Elisabeth, married the future Philippe IV. Philip III died in 1621.
