For the first time, Prado Museum brings together eight works by El Greco from around the world
Upon entering the central gallery of the Prado Museum, visitors are greeted by El Greco’s The Assumption of the Virgin. It’s a monumental painting, which still looks fresh (with a bit of imagination, you can even smell the brushstrokes). When you stand in front of it, you need to strain your neck to observe the several feet of paint that depict the ascension of Mary into heaven, without any Evangelical references.
