El Greco's View of Toledo
El Greco's View of Toledo breaks ground as one of the first pure landscape paintings in Western art, using a stormy sky and dramatic colors to evoke emotion rather than topographical accuracy. Measuring 121 x 108 cm, this canvas predates the modern landscape genre by 200 years. Its moody palette—including over 50 shades of deep green and gray—influenced later Expressionists.
