A hand-written annotation to a book, found in Spain in a copy of Lives of the most
excellent architects, painters and sculptors by Giorgio Vasari, has led Nicos
Hadjinicolau, a researcher from the Institute of Mediterranean Studies, to conclude
that the artist – contrary to popular belief– was a defender of Byzantine art. A literal
translation of the note attributed to the painter reads: “If [Vasari] really knew the
nature of the Greek style of which he speaks, he would deal with it differently in what
he says. He compares it with Giotto, but what Giotto did is simple in comparison,
because the Greek style is full of ingenious difficulties.”
El Greco obtained the book from which this annotation was taken during Italian
painter Federico Zuccaro’s visit to Toledo in May 1586.
