"The Burial of Count Orgaz" (Spanish: "El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz") is a renowned painting by the Greek-born Spanish artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco. Completed in 1586, this masterpiece is a prime example of Mannerism and is considered one of El Greco's most illustrious and emblematic works. The painting is housed in the Church of Santo Tomé in Toledo, Spain, the very location for which it was originally commissioned.

The artwork is a visual representation of a local legend that dates back to the 14th century, concerning the burial of Don Gonzalo Ruíz, Count of Orgaz, a nobleman who was known for his piety and philanthropy. According to the legend, Saint Stephen and Saint Augustine descended from heaven to lay the Count to rest, acknowledging his devout Christian faith and service to the Church.

El Greco's painting is divided into two distinct sections, with the earthly scene depicted below and the heavenly one above, blending spiritual and physical realms in a dramatic and visionary composition. The lower section portrays the Count's funeral, attended by a host of Toledo's most distinguished figures, including members of the clergy and nobility, all rendered with meticulous detail and individualized features. This part of the painting is characterized by its realism and the solemnity of the event.

The upper section, by contrast, is ethereal and filled with celestial beings, illustrating the soul of the Count being received into heaven. This part of the composition is marked by a more abstract and expressive style, with elongated figures and a dynamic arrangement of clouds and angels that lead the viewer's gaze upward. The juxtaposition of the two realms is unified by the use of light and color, as well as the vertical alignment of the Count's soul with his body, creating a powerful visual axis that anchors the entire scene.

El Greco's "The Burial of Count Orgaz" is celebrated for its profound spirituality, its innovative use of color and form, and its influence on the development of both Spanish and Western art. The painting's deep religious significance, combined with El Greco's distinctive artistic language, has captivated viewers for centuries and continues to be a subject of study and admiration in the art world.
