Renaissance artist Doménicos Theotoköpoulos, aka El Greco, returns to Greece with an exhibition dedicated exclusively to the artist's Spanish period, including unsigned works from his workshop and pupils, including his son, Jorge Manuel Theotocopuli and Luis Tristan, and the Prado Museum's well documented fake, The Adoration of the Shepherds.

El Greco was in his mid-thirties and already an established artist when he established his workshop. Leaving Crete in his late twenties, he moved to Venice and later Rome before making his way to Toledo, where he began to receive many commissions. It was here that he set up his famous workshop. His unique style was widely regarded as a precursor to Expressionism and Cubism.
