El Greco left his mark on the island of Crete, Italy and Spain, where he settled. These places were always connected and influenced mutually. His work is the penetration of the artistic spirit of different cultures that is the result of a variety of cultural collision. The essay aims to combine the artistic filter of the different periods of El Greco, the general cultural concept of his situation, his religious orientation, the requirements of the patrons, and the descriptions of a religious text to analyze how appeared, disappeared and reappeared these different cultural elements in the paintings throughout his life; what elements the painter chose to represent his unique style and individual pictures of the middle and late period of Toledo, and how borrowed these cultural elements.
