Charles de Guise (1525-1574), Archbishop of Reims, was one of the leaders of the Spanish Catholic Party at the court of the last Valois. The parrot, Italian 'papagallo' points as a pun (Papa gallo = Gallic pope) to the ambitions of the cardinal. A contemporary reproduction engraving (parrot replaced by cross) and several old copies are known. The attribution to El Greco is based on stylistic considerations and is agreed upon by most scholars.

A classical depiction of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, in a half-length oval format. He is shown with a muscular physique, grapevines adorning his hair, and holding a drinking vessel (a rhyton) above his head. To his right, a smaller figure (a putto or satyr) is eating grapes. The intricate background and detailed shading showcase the artist's skill in the Mannerist style.
Bacchus by Hendrich Goltzius, c. 1600 (engraving)

It was said of El Greco that he painted with a piece broken off a wooden cross, without making any corrections, so that "every patch of paint corresponds to God's will." The story is not factual, yet it speaks volumes: it is as if the febrile visions evolved from the roughly defined, impetuous forms at the touch of some mystic power. Yet it is not, after all, God's hand at work, but the painter's passionate faith and talent, which forged a new organic unity from Christendom's two great painting traditions. Domenikos Theotokopoulos from Crete was already a recognized master of the old-style icon painting before he was captivated by the modern western style of Titian and Tintoretto. Wherever fate took him, to Venice, to Rome, and finally to Spain, in his soul he remained "El Greco," "the Greek." A former harlot, Magdalene turned to Jesus's most devoted believer. Following Titian, Greco condensed her story into the single moment of ecstasy: the moment when she, meditating in the wilderness on death and immortality, converts. While for Titian her passionate revelation is accompanied by erotic overtones, here the blinding beam of light seems to purify her, almost uplifting her from the bonds of corporeality. The skull, which refers to earthly mortality, has rolled out of her hand, and behind her ivy, symbol of eternal life, stretches heavenwards. The dawn landscape, bathed in cold moonlit pale tones, is a delicate echo of the emanating experience of spiritual catharsis.

"Madame Cyclops" face was elongated on purpose! Was going for a "mannerism" look. She done up in reds to invoke the red light district. While male cyclops tend to be violent female ones are considered seers and truth sayers. #watercolor #cyclops #mannerism
