El Greco
1541-1614

His early art was Byzantine but he then became absorbed in the Mannerist style. travBotticelli was one of the greatest artists of the late 15th century. He painted portraits as well as religious, political and mythological works, going to Rome in 14 81 to paint part of the Sistine Chapel.
