1578-1631 Spanien
Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli (1578–1631) was a Spanish painter and architect, the son of El Greco. He trained in his father's workshop, and they collaborated on major projects before Jorge Manuel developed his own artistic style.
El Greco didn't only pass on his artistic style and talent to his son, he also left unfinished commissions, including altarpieces for the Hospital de Tavera. Tasked with completing them, Jorge Manuel faced delays and disputes with the hospital, which refused full payment. The conflict escalated into financial struggles, forcing him to sell artworks and eventually leading to the seizure of his property.

El Nacimiento de la Virgen could easily be mistaken for a work by El Greco himself. Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli, his son, carries on the same dramatic style with elongated figures, swirling movement, and rich, moody colors. The scene feels alive, as heavenly and earthly figures crowd together in celebration of Mary’s birth.
The influence of El Greco is unmistakable, it’s a powerful example of how closely Jorge Manuel followed in his father’s footsteps, capturing that same spiritual intensity.
