← Back to El Greco Profile
“Out of the great esteem he was held in he was called the Greek (il Greco).”
“Mancini reports that El Greco said to the Pope [in Rome] that if the whole work [Michelangelo's Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel] was demolished, he himself would do it in a decent manner and with seemliness.”
