Laocoön (El Greco)
The ''Laocoön'' is an oil painting created between 1610 and 1614 by renowned Greek artist and Spanish Renaissance master Doménikos Theotokópoulos, known as El Greco ("The Greek"). It is part of a collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C..
The painting depicts the Greek and Roman mythological story of the deaths of Laocoön, a Trojan priest of Poseidon, and his two sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus. Laocoön and his sons were strangled by sea serpents, a punishment sent by the gods after Laocoön attempted to warn his countrymen about the Trojan horse.〔Spielvogel, Jackson J. Western Civilization, pg. 475〕 Although inspired by the recently discovered monumental Hellenistic sculpture Laocoön and His Sons in Rome, Laocoön is a product of Mannerism, an artistic movement originating in Italy during the 16th century that countered the artistic ideals of the Renaissance.〔Kleiner, Fred S., and Helen Gardner. Gardner's Art through the Ages: a Global History, pg. 612〕 El Greco’s painting deliberately breaks away from the balance and harmony of Renaissance art with its strong emotional atmosphere and distorted figures.
==Inspiration==
El Greco's oil painting of Laocoön represents the influence of both classical mythology and artistry.〔"Laocoön." Web Gallery of Art.〕
