Artist: El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos)
El Greco's The Disrobing of Christ, also called El Expolio, shows the moment before the Crucifixion when Christ is stripped of his garments. Painted in Toledo between 1583 and 1584, it gathers Christ, his executioners and the mourning Marys into a tall, crowded composition. This short tour looks at how the picture turns that moment of humiliation into a scene of composure and stillness.
