About the piece
Attributed to the master El Greco, this striking oil portrait of Juan de Ávila showcases the artist's signature Mannerist technique from around 1600. The subject's intense, soulful gaze and expressive, elongated hands are set against an atmospheric dark background, characteristic of the spiritual interiority found in Spanish Golden Age art.
