The Annunciation
Doménikos Theotokópoulos
El Greco was a Greek-born Spanish painter known for his dramatic use of color, elongated figures, and expressive compositions. Blending Byzantine and Renaissance influences, his visionary style gave his religious and portrait works a sense of movement and spirituality.
Doménikos Theotokópoulos created The Annunciation in 1576. It is now part of the collection at Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Spain.
