Biography

He learned his craft while working in his father’s studio.

Around 1603, he participated in the execution of orders for altarpieces in Illescas , which is his first documented work.

Later, in 1607, he began to work more independently, creating altarpieces in Titulsia , which, although they were generally made in the style of his famous father, showed glimpses of his own personality. [four]

After the death of El Greco in 1614, he focused on the architecture of interest to him, working mainly in the Herrerian style, imitating Nicholas de Vergard el Mozzo and Juan Bautista Monegro .

From 1612 to 1618 was involved in completing the construction of the Casa Consistorial (city hall ) in Toledo. [five]

A few years later, in 1625 , Teotokopuli became a master builder (foreman of masons ), a sculptor and architect of the Toledo Cathedral , [5] working on the construction of his Mosarab chapel, originally designed by Enrique Egas in 1519 , and an octagonal chapel (Ochavo). [4] He also participated in several less serious projects, such as the design of a comedy theater called “Mesón de la Fruta”, which was destroyed in the 1870s. [6]
