Celý životopis1607–1608
The lawsuit with the hospital at Illescas
In 1607–08 El Greco was involved in a protracted legal dispute with the Hospital of Charity at Illescas over payment for his work, which included painting, sculpture and architecture. This and other disputes contributed to the economic difficulties of his last years.
1608
His last major commission: the Hospital of Saint John the Baptist
In 1608 El Greco received his last major commission, for the Hospital of Saint John the Baptist in Toledo.
1611
A visit from Francisco Pacheco
The painter and theorist Francisco Pacheco, who visited El Greco in 1611, condemned his idea of the primacy of colour over form and his broad-brush manner, yet called the master “a writer of painting, sculpture and architecture”.
