About the piece
This 1607 painting, created after El Greco's celebrated composition, captures the moment Saint Martin of Tours divides his cloak to clothe a beggar. The work features the signature Mannerist style, characterized by ethereal light, elongated proportions, and a vibrant, contrasting palette of emerald green and gold against a turbulent blue sky.
