Description
 
The first great Spanish painter was not born in Spain but in the Greek Island of Crete in the eastern Mediterranean. If the testimony he made towards the end of this life is true, Domenicos Theotocopoulos -- for that was his name -- was born in 1540 or 1541.

The Old Testament does not figure in his repertoire of subjects, which concerns itself with the central personalities and mysteries of the Faith, in which were embodied the essential meaning of the Universe. The mysteries were those which expressed the essential meaning of the spiritual, essentially divorced from ordinary human experience: the Virgin of the Annunciation, receiving the Spirit, and the Christ of the Cross releasing the Spirit..
