Which Greek painter is nicknamed 'The Greek' and painted View of Toledo?

• A. Picasso
• B. Velázquez
• C. El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos)
• D. Goya

Answer: (C)

The painter nicknamed “The Greek” who painted View of Toledo is El Greco, the Greek-born Domenikos Theotokopoulos. Born on Crete, he moved to Spain and settled in Toledo, where he earned the name El Greco to reflect his origins. He’s famous for a dramatic, elongated style and intense, spiritual mood, and View of Toledo is one of his best-known landscapes, showing the city on a moody, luminous day—an unusual and striking subject for him. The other artists listed are Spanish painters with different nicknames and pursuits, so they don’t fit the clue about the Greek nickname or this particular painting.
