Who Arted is art history and art education for everyone. While most art history podcasts focus on the traditional "fine art" we see in museums around the world, Who ARTed celebrates art in all of its forms and in terms anyone can understand. Each episode tells the story of a different artist and artwork including the traditional big names like Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol along with lesser-known artists working in such diverse media as video game design, dance, the culinary arts, and more. Who Arted is written and produced by an art teacher with the goal of creating a classroom resource that makes art history fun and accessible to everyone. Whether you are cramming for your AP Art History exam, trying to learn a few facts so you can sound smart at fashionable dinner parties, or just looking to hear something with a more positive tone, we’ve got you covered with episodes every Monday and Friday.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

  • El Greco | The Burial of the Count Orgaz

    El Greco | The Burial of the Count Orgaz
    Nov 14 2025
    Domenikos Theotokopoulos, better known as El Greco, was a singular figure in art history who bridged the gap between Byzantine tradition and Western modernism. Born in Crete in 1541, he trained as an icon painter before moving to Venice and Rome, where he absorbed the vibrant colors of the High Renaissance. However, his bold personality and vocal criticism of local heroes like Michelangelo made it difficult for him to thrive in Italy. In 1577, he moved to Toledo, Spain, where he spent the rest of his life creating his most famous works for the Church and private intellectuals. El Greco is best remembered as a leading Mannerist. His style rejected strict realism in favor of emotional intensity, featuring elongated figures twisted in unnatural poses and bathed in eerie, acid-green or blue light. While a popular scientific theory in the early 20th century suggested these distortions were caused by astigmatism, historians have proven they were a deliberate stylistic choice intended to emphasize spiritual mysticism. He was also known for his litigious nature, frequently suing clients to ensure painting was respected as a high intellectual pursuit rather than a common craft. One of his crowning achievements is The Burial of the Count Orgaz (1586). This massive painting, located in the Church of Santo Tomé in Toledo, visually synthesizes his two main influences. The lower half depicts a miraculous funeral with striking realism, including portraits of local contemporaries, while the upper half represents the heavens with swirling, abstract forms. Although El Greco fell into obscurity for nearly three centuries after his death in 1614, he was rediscovered by Romantic and Expressionist artists in the 19th century. His unique approach to form and space became a major influence on modern masters, specifically Pablo Picasso, who used El Greco’s distortion as a blueprint for the development of Cubism.
