''The Disrobing of Christ'' (Spanish: ''El Espolio''), painted by El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos) between 1577 and 1579, is a seminal work of the Mannerist period that showcases the artist's distinctive style and his ability to convey emotional intensity. The painting, which is also known as ''The Spoilation'', depicts the biblical scene of Christ being stripped of his garments before his crucifixion, a moment that emphasizes the humiliation and suffering of Jesus. It is one of El Greco's most celebrated works and is often cited as a prime example of his mature style, which is characterized by elongated figures, dramatic lighting, and vibrant coloration.

Created after El Greco's relocation to Toledo, Spain, ''The Disrobing of Christ'' was commissioned for the sacristy of the Cathedral of Toledo, where it remains to this day. The painting's composition is notable for its verticality and the crowded arrangement of figures around Christ, who stands serene and dignified at the center. The upward gaze of many figures and the directional lines of their gestures guide the viewer's eye towards the heavens, underscoring the spiritual nature of the scene. El Greco's use of stark contrasts between light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, enhances the dramatic effect and emotional resonance of the work.

The painting's innovative approach to form and color, as well as its expressive intensity, mark a departure from the Renaissance ideals of harmony and proportion, positioning El Greco as a precursor to the Baroque movement. ''The Disrobing of Christ'' has been extensively analyzed for its theological symbolism, artistic techniques, and its reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of late 16th-century Spain. The work has had a significant impact on the history of art, influencing generations of artists and contributing to El Greco's reputation as a master of the Spanish Renaissance.
