[ Page of Interest: El Greco's Toledo ]
The Museo Parroquia Santo Tomé houses El Greco’s masterpiece, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The arched canvas vividly depicts the heavens of elongated saints and eerily swirling clouds floating above earth. Of the lower half of the painting, legend has it that Saints Stephen and Augustine miraculously appeared to place the Count de Orgaz in his coffin as a sign of reverence for his generosity to the church. The young boy on the left is Jorge Manuel, El Greco’s only son, from whose pocket dangles a handkerchief dated 1578 (the year of Jorge’s birth) and which is signed by the artist.
