Museo del Greco

The Greco's Museum in Toledo houses the more modern works of one of the great masters of painting throught a communicative exhibition devoted to his later works.

After his arrival in Toledo, Spanish patrons of the arts and clientele had a decisive influence on the development of El Greco's style. The Museum offers the opportunity to see the artist’s most famous paintings from this period, such as the Apostolate, the Altarpiece of Saint Bernardine and the View and map of of Toledo. It also houses works by some of El Greco’s followers, like the artist Luis Tristán.

There is an exhibition space devoted to the Museum’s founder, the Marquis of Vega-Inclán, which highlights the role of this collector in the promotion of Spanish art as a tourist attraction and the revival of El Greco. There are different exhibition spaces designed by the Marquis, such as the Romantic interpretation of the painter made in the early 20th century, and his original idea for the Museum, helping to explain the location and characteristics of our Museum.
