The Virgin Mary by El Greco (1585) depicts Mary wearing a blue veil and gazing into the distance, illuminated by a halo and accompanied by two books symbolizing knowledge and wisdom. This iconic painting showcases El Greco's masterful blend of Byzantine tradition with Venetian and Roman influences, resulting in a distinctive style that foreshadowed Expressionism.
