10 Old Masters That Changed The Art Market. #4: This emotionally charged scene sealed El Greco’s ‘comeback’.
.
Although El Greco was lauded in his lifetime for his ghostly apparitions, within a century he was considered a dangerous eccentric and his works ‘faulty’. At auction at Christie’s in 1887, one of his works sold for just 24 guineas – the equivalent of around £2,100 today.
.
By the 1900s, however, El Greco was beginning to make a comeback. An inspiration to Cézanne, Gauguin and Picasso, the artist began to be regarded as a forerunner of Modernism.
.
By the time this painting came up for auction at Christie’s in 2016, El Greeco’s rehabilitation was complete – the work sold for just over $6 million, well beyond its high estimate.
.
Doménikos Theotokopoulos, called El Greco (1541–1614), ‘The Entombment of Christ’. Sold for: $6,101,000 on 14 April 2016 at Christie’s in New York.
