"The Burial of the Count of 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. Created between 1586 and 1588, this masterpiece is a significant work of the Spanish Renaissance and is often considered one of El Greco's finest pieces. The painting is a large-scale oil on canvas, measuring approximately 4.8 meters in height by 3.6 meters in width, and is housed in the Church of Santo Tomé in Toledo, Spain.

The artwork was commissioned by the parish priest of Santo Tomé, Andrés Núñez de Madrid, to honor the memory of Don Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, the Count of Orgaz, who was a benefactor of the church and the city of Toledo. According to local legend, the Count was so pious that when he died in 1323, Saints Stephen and Augustine descended from heaven to bury him, a miraculous event that El Greco was tasked to depict.

In "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz," El Greco masterfully combines the earthly and the divine, juxtaposing the mortal world with the heavenly realm. The lower section of the painting portrays the count's funeral, attended by a host of noblemen and ecclesiastical figures, all rendered with remarkable realism and detail. The upper section transcends into the spiritual plane, where the soul of the count is received by an ethereal gathering of angels and saints, culminating with the figure of Christ in glory.

El Greco's unique style, characterized by elongated figures, dramatic lighting, and vibrant colors, is fully evident in this work. The painting is not only a religious and spiritual representation but also serves as a social document of the time, as El Greco included portraits of contemporary Toledan society, including, it is believed, a self-portrait.

"The Burial of the Count of Orgaz" has been widely studied and admired for its complex iconography, its fusion of the terrestrial and celestial, and its profound impact on the development of both Spanish and Western art. The painting remains a testament to El Greco's genius and his ability to convey deep religious sentiment through his distinctive artistic language.
