El Greco The Assumption of the Virgin Scarf

Scarf developed from El Greco¡¯s (Dom¨¦nikos Theotok¨®poulos) The Assumption of the Virgin, 1577-79, from the Art Institute of Chicago¡¯s collection. With no major commissions in Rome, El Greco moved on to Spain in 1577. He quickly earned a major commission for the altarpiece for the Church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo, the result being the monumental The Assumption of the Virgin (1577¨C79). Of a scale and format that he had never previously attempted, The Assumption became a showpiece for the artist as he attempted to mold a new career for himself in Spain. Dimensions: 33.5 in. x 51 in. Material: 100% polyester Hand wash, hang dry.
