"The Burial of the Count of Orgaz" (Spanish: "El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz") is a renowned painting by the Greek-born painter Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco. Created between 1586 and 1588, this masterpiece is a significant work of the Spanish Renaissance and exemplifies El Greco's unique style, which combines elements of the Byzantine tradition with Western painting techniques and the spiritual intensity of the Counter-Reformation.

The painting was commissioned by the parish priest of Santo Tomé in Toledo, Spain, for the church of the same name, where it still resides. It depicts a miraculous event that is said to have occurred in 1323 at the funeral of Don Gonzalo Ruiz, Count of Orgaz, a pious nobleman. According to legend, Saints Stephen and Augustine descended from heaven to lay the Count to rest, acknowledging his piety and charity.

El Greco's composition is divided into two distinct zones: the heavenly above and the terrestrial below, with the miraculous burial taking place at the juncture of the two realms. The lower section of the painting portrays the mourners and distinguished figures of Toledo, rendered with remarkable realism and attention to detail. The upper section is more ethereal, featuring a host of angels and the soul of the Count being guided to the afterlife.

The work is notable for its dramatic use of light and color, elongated figures, and emotional intensity, all characteristic of El Greco's mature style. "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz" is not only a visual representation of a local legend but also a profound statement on the relationship between the earthly and the divine, the human and the spiritual. It remains one of El Greco's most admired and studied works, attracting scholars and visitors from around the world.
