El Greco paintings show mastery in Post-Byzantine art, following the footsteps of Greek artists. El Greco spent a great majority of his time in Rome developing his style, where he adopted elements from both Mannerism and Venetian Renaissance.
It was in Toledo Spain where El Greco truly blossomed and the best masterful El Greco paintings were produced. The focal point of his work was highly expressive and visionary religious works. He rarely ventured away from this genre but when he did, he produced compelling portraits, landscape paintings, mythological works and sculptures.
Particularly notable for their undulating forms, epic scale and expressive distortions are the later El Greco paintings. Color, for El Greco, is the most important element in painting. As a matter of fact, he even declared that color should have primacy over form. In his mature works, he had the tendency to dramatize instead of describe. His works in general directly affected his audience because of the strong spiritual emotion they convey.
Depictions of everyday scenes of people and city life are what Manet paintings are all about. In the transition from realism to impressionism, Edouard Manet was considered a leading artist. The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia are among his most famous works.
Most arresting among Manet paintings is a portrait showing a young woman wearing a black ribbon around her neck and a dashingly blue ribbon in her hair. The model for this portrait was Victorine Meurent, who also happens to be the model in one of the most notorious paintings in the world, also done by Edouard.
Olympia is a one of the most famous Manet paintings. Victorine was the model for the prostitute featured in the painting, in all her glory except for a black ribbon around her neck and a satin slipper on her foot. She was completely naked again in The Luncheon on the Grass, but in this painting she was surrounded by two men who were fully clothed while enjoying their picnic together. She was featured as a bullfighter wearing very unsuitable shoes in Mlle V in the Costume of an Espada.
