El Greco Laocoon 1614 Greek Mythology Baroque Serpents Art Poster
El Greco’s Laocoon (1614), the serpent-struck priest beneath Toledo skies. Elongated figures and storm clouds in late Baroque splendor.
Description
In his last great mythological work, El Greco paints Laocoon and his sons writhing in the serpents' coils, with the city of Toledo rising behind them under a turbulent sky. The phosphorescent flesh tones and sweeping composition are unforgettable. A dramatic art print for collectors of Spanish masters and classical myth.
