The "Adoration of the Name of Jesus" (also known as "The Dream of Philip II") is a notable painting by the Greek-born Spanish Renaissance artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco. Created between 1577 and 1579, this work was part of a commission for the high altar of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, near Madrid, Spain. The painting reflects the religious fervor and mysticism of Spain during the Counter-Reformation, a period marked by a resurgence of Catholic piety and a response to the Protestant Reformation.

Measuring 114 cm × 66 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas and is currently housed in the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. The composition is characterized by El Greco's distinctive style, which includes elongated figures, dramatic lighting, and vibrant colors. It depicts a vision of the Holy Name of Jesus surrounded by a host of angels and saints in adoration, with a group of figures below, representing the damned being cast into hell. The central motif of the painting is the IHS monogram, a symbol for the name of Jesus, radiating divine light.

The "Adoration of the Name of Jesus" is significant for its theological symbolism and its representation of the power of the name of Jesus, a theme that resonated with the spirituality of King Philip II of Spain, who was a devout Catholic and the patron of the commission. The painting's reference to Philip II's dream is believed to symbolize the king's divine mandate to defend the Catholic faith against its enemies, both internal and external.

El Greco's work is renowned for its blend of Byzantine and Western painting traditions, and the "Adoration of the Name of Jesus" exemplifies his ability to convey spiritual ecstasy and otherworldly experiences through his art. The painting is an important example of El Greco's mature style and contributes to the understanding of his artistic and religious vision, as well as the cultural and political context of late 16th-century Spain.
