Oil Painting Replica St. Louis King of France with a Page by El Greco (Doménikos Theotokopoulos) (1541-1614, Greece) | WahooArt.com

El Greco (Doménikos Theotokopoulos) (i) - Oil (i) - Mannerism (i) St. Louis King of France with a Page (1592-95) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. The painting obviously represents a king, since all the royal attributes are present - crown, sceptre with fleur-de-lys, and 'main de justice'; he wears modern armour, except for the fact that the forearms are bare. The column, no doubt, symbolizes the might of the warrior. The night landscape under moonlit clouds in the background, recently revealed during cleaning in 2000, is reminiscent of El Greco's representations of Toledo in the late 1590s. The painting (120 x 96 cm) is in the collection of the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
