Materpieces of El Greco - Counter Refromation painted
Abstract
The term “post-Tridentine” is used to describe the sacred art after the Council of Trent (1545-1563). The religious art of the 16th and 17th centuries joined the activities connected to the Counter Reformation, defending the dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church and arguing with Protestants. The article raises essential issues like: Why can the masterpieces of El Greco be classified as so called “Counter-Reformation representations”? What issues were raised and how did they speak for the faith preached by the Roman Catholic Church? To what extent was El Greco himself aware that through his masterpieces he defended, justified, and confirmed the teaching of the Church?
Keywords:
El Greco, painting, theology, the Counter Reformation.
