El Greco (Domenikos Theotocopoulos). The Burial of Count Orgasz. 1586. oil Painting.

    If you were able to take a closer look at this painting, you would find on the handkerchief of the boy in the painting, the artist's own signature, as well as the date '1578' - the year of Jorge Manuel's birth. The boy points to the body of the deceased, thus bringing together birth and death.

This piece was selected for the gallery of favorites by Belinda Coles, I chose this painting because I like the style , and the feelings it evokes. You can see Belinda's work here.
