EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of the famous painting "Saint Louis, King of France, and a Page" by El Greco. The artwork itself dates back to the late 16th century and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image focuses on St. Louis of France (also known as St. Ferdinand of Castile), depicted with great precision by the skilled artist Domenico Theotokopuli, commonly known as El Greco. St. Louis stands tall wearing regal attire that reflects his royal status – an exquisite collar adorned with delicate lace and a ruff around his neck. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold and crease in his clothing is meticulously captured through oil paint strokes, bringing depth and texture to the portrait. The monochromatic color palette adds a timeless quality to this piece. This particular print was featured in E Harris' book "Spanish Painting" published by John Gifford Limited in London during 1938. It serves as a testament to El Greco's mastery as well as an homage to Spanish art history. Whether you are drawn to religious iconography or appreciate historical portraiture, this stunning print offers an intimate glimpse into one of El Greco's most celebrated works while paying tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Spain and France during the 16th century.
