Painting in the Late Byzantine Empire
El Greco, Dormition of the Virgin
Late Byzantine realism in the rendering of the body is evident here, as the mourners assume a variety of poses. Solemn facial expressions and body language reflect the somber mood of the final sleep of the Virgin Mary. Before 1567.
