The «experts» that have analysed this painting have attributed it to El Greco. What has been said is that the painting reached America during the Spanish Civil War and had remained hidden, (or away from the public eye) for over fifty years. Experts say that it is a Greco from 1590, that a family kept it in the Mexican city of Coyoacán without knowing that it was from the famous painter. They say that the painting represents Saint Andrew.
I am no «expert», and I totally dislike and distrust the so-called «experts» (good grief experts!), but I would not call this painting that you see above in the featured image an original El Greco. If that is an El Greco then I am the reincarnation of Michelangelo! There is nothing about this painting that would even remind me of any of the phenomenal works of El Greco, who is, by the way, one of my favourite artists. El Greco was a master, ahead of his time, and an artist that would never paint something like that.
But now you tell me what you think. Do you believe the «experts»?
CHEERS
In this case, I don’t know enough to have an opinion.

None of us do Pat… but in the opinion of some «experts» (good grief experts) it is authentic, although it looks nothing at all like the rest of El Greco’s work. I think it is a scam… 😊

Your rebuttal makes a lot of sense, Francisco.

I agree with you, Francesco, on how the experts arrived at pronouncing this painting to be by El Greco.

«..then I am the reincarnation of Michelangelo! ..»
😂
Also lack the knowledge to have an opinion, Francesco…so we either believe you’re Michelangelo 🤭 or go by your assessment.
an interesting share…🤍

Hehehe… You can believe I am not Michelangelo 😁😁😁… But if you look (via Google) at the works of El Greco, you don’t have to be an «expert» to notice that this piece just does not fit in… Thank you so much and I am glad you found it interesting. All the best!
