"Apostle St. Simon" (1610-14) is a notable painting by the Greek-Spanish Renaissance artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco. This work is part of a series of apostle paintings created by El Greco in the latter part of his career, which was intended to depict the twelve apostles, a common theme in Christian art that allowed artists to explore varied expressions of faith and character. The painting is characterized by El Greco's distinctive style, which includes elongated figures, dramatic lighting, and vibrant colors that contribute to the spiritual intensity of the subject.

The artwork portrays St. Simon holding a book, symbolizing his role in spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, and a saw, which traditionally represents his martyrdom. The figure of St. Simon is rendered with profound emotional depth, his gaze seemingly directed towards a divine vision, which reflects El Greco's ability to convey spiritual ecstasy and contemplation. The use of swirling drapery and the dynamic composition are typical of El Greco's mature work, demonstrating his departure from naturalism and his embrace of a more expressionistic approach to religious subjects.

"Apostle St. Simon" is celebrated for its innovative use of color and form, which not only exemplifies El Greco's unique artistic language but also contributes to the development of Western art, influencing future generations of artists. The painting is a testament to El Greco's mastery in portraying the mystical and the divine, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and a valuable piece for the study of post-Byzantine and Spanish Renaissance art.
