The "Fifth Seal of the Apocalypse" is a renowned painting by El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos), a prominent figure of the Spanish Renaissance. Created between 1608 and 1614, this work is considered one of El Greco's most profound and enigmatic pieces, reflecting his unique style that combines elements of the Byzantine tradition with Western painting techniques. The painting is inspired by the Book of Revelation (6:9–11) and depicts the opening of the fifth seal, revealing the souls of martyrs asking God for justice against those who dwell on the Earth.

Measuring 222.3 cm × 193 cm, the painting is notable for its dramatic use of color, light, and composition, characteristics that define El Greco's mature work. The figures are elongated, a hallmark of his style, conveying a sense of spiritual intensity and emotional depth. The upper part of the original work, which depicted the celestial vision of the New Jerusalem, was later cut off, and its whereabouts remain unknown, adding a layer of mystery to the painting's history.

Originally intended for the high altar of the Hospital of Saint John the Baptist in Toledo, Spain, the "Fifth Seal of the Apocalypse" now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This masterpiece not only exemplifies El Greco's spiritual and artistic vision but also serves as a testament to his profound influence on the development of Western art, bridging the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. The painting's thematic complexity and stylistic innovation continue to captivate scholars and art lovers, making it a pivotal work in the study of El Greco's oeuvre and the broader context of European art history.
