The house and museum


The museum first opened in 1911 and is located in the Jewish Quarter of Toledo.[2] It consists of two buildings, a 16th-century house with a courtyard and an early 20th century building forming the museum, together with a garden. The house recreates the home of El Greco, which no longer exists. The museum houses many artworks by El Greco, especially from his late period.[3] There are also paintings by other 17th-century Spanish artists, as well as furniture from the period and pottery from Talavera de la Reina in the Province of Toledo.


Collection


Apostalado by El Greco

A complete series of 13 paintings portraying Christ and his disciples originally produced between 1610 and 1614 by El Greco and his workshop for the Hospital de Santiago in Toledo. The series was conceived and executed as a single project, with Christ looking directly out of the picture, six of the disciples looking to the left and six to the right. The disciples represent his 12 original followers, except that the disgraced Judas Iscariot is replaced by Saint Paul. All the works are oil on canvas with a size of 97 x 77 cm. [4]

Le musée du Greco est un musée situé dans la ville de Tolède en Espagne et consacré à la vie et à l'œuvre du peintre El Greco, né en Crète, mais qui a peint la majorité de ses tableaux à Tolède. L'institution a été inaugurée en 1911 et conçue comme une maison-musée vouée à réunir les tableaux de l'artiste, qui commençait à être réévalué à cette époque, et donner une idée de la façon dont il vivait. La maison n'est pas la véritable maison où Le Greco a passé le plus de temps à Tolède (elle est située un peu plus loin), mais elle tente de donner une bonne idée des conditions de vie du peintre[1].
