Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli (1578 - 1631),

was a Spanish painter and architect. He was the only son of the iconic painter, Doménikos Theotokópoulos, called "El Greco". He learned his trade working in the studios of his father. Around 1603, he participated in creating custom altarpieces in Illescas; his first documented work. Later, in 1607, he began to work more independently, producing an altarpiece in Titulcia which, although generally done in his father's style, showed a glimmer of his own personality. After his father's death in 1614, he focused on his interest in architecture, working mostly in the Herrerian style, as practiced by Nicolás de Vergara el Mozo and Juan Bautista Monegro. He eventually came to financial ruin from a dispute with the Hospital de Tavera, where his father had left a major commission uncompleted. The affair ended with the seizure of his property.
