About the piece
Painted around 1600 by the master El Greco, this work depicts the Disrobing of Christ, or 'El Espolio.' The composition is defined by its verticality and the crowded, agitated press of figures surrounding the serene, luminous figure of Christ. His brilliant red robe provides a bold contrast against the dark, moody tones of the surrounding soldiers and the somber sky, showcasing the artist's unique Mannerist technique.
