Chapter 1 of 7
Stand before the only pure landscape El Greco is known to have painted. Around 1599, he set aside his saints and apostles to render Toledo — Spain's former imperial capital — not as a cartographer would, but as a visionary. What you see is not geography.
It is a declaration of inner truth.
