Ki sallandılar

Dışarı yağmadım

Ve yenildim ve sustum.

The Disrobing of Christ (El Expolio)

Artist: El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos) (workshop of) (Greek, 1541-1614)

Date: ca. 1579–1580

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, Hungary

Description

This rarely depicted scene, originating from the Apocrypha, records the dramatic moment before the Crucifixion, when Christ is disrobed by a henchman. The work, produced for the sacristy in the Cathedral of Toledo, is one of El Greco’s most original inventions. The composition did not find favour with the church prelates, who were displeased that the mob was placed so prominently above Christ’s head. Nevertheless, the large, multi-figural original was a remarkable success, as testified by the large number of replicas, copies and variants that it generated.
