The Moneylender and his wife

This is a 1514 oil on panel painting by the Flemish renaissance artist Quentin Matsys.

El Greco

 

The Burial of the Count of Orgaz(1586–1588, oil on canvas, 480 × 360 cm, Santo Tomé, Toledo), now El Greco's best known work, illustrates a popular local legend. An exceptionally large painting, it is clearly divided into two zones: the heavenly above and the terrestrial below, brought together compositionally.
