The 'Portrait of a young man' by Doménikos Theotokópoulos, popularly known as El Greco, is a hallmark of the master painter's signature style. Created during the time of the Mannerism (late renaissance) period, the Portrait skillfully utilizes Oil painting techniques to invoke a sense of depth and realism.
