From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portrait of Diego de Covarrubias y Leiva is a c.1600 oil on canvas painting by El Greco ,[ 1] now in the El Greco Museum in Toledo .[ 2] It appears in Harold Wethey 's catalogue raisonné of the artist's works as number 137 and in Tiziana Frati's as number 114;[ 3]
The artist arrived in Toledo in 1577, the year Diego de Covarrubias died, so the work cannot be from life[ 4] but is instead based on Sánchez Coello 's 1574 portrait of him .[ 5] He may also be one of the figures in The Burial of the Count of Orgaz , in which case it may be a kind of posthumous tribute.[ 6]
It appears to be a pendent of Portrait of Antonio de Covarrubias (Wethey number 136) - in both works the only autograph section seems to be the head, with the rest being by his studio.[ 7] Both were probably in Pedro de Salazar y Mendoza 's collection according to a 1629 inventory.[ 8] It was later in Toledo's provincial library.[ 9] Wethey also mentions a copy (X-163), formerly in Toledo Provincial Museum but now in an unknown location.[ 10]
