Few artists were ever more unweariedly industrious than El Greco, even in his old age. Never idle for a moment, he must have not a little astonished, by his indomitable energy, the slow and otiose Toledans amongst whom he lived. Pacheco, who visited him in 161 1, relates that he showed him a large closet filled with the plaster models of his various sculptures, and a chamber full of sketches of all his pictures. In the course of their talk El Greco de- clared his opinion that coloring was a mor...e difficult part of the painter's art than drawing, and that Michael Angelo, "though a good professor, knew noth- ing of painting. " Besides uttering these heresies, to the horror of the Sevillian, he explained and defended his own harsh and spotty style, avowing that it was his practice to retouch a picture till each mass of color was distinct and separate from the rest, and asserting that it gave strength and character to the whole. But in spite of his eccentric style and opinions, the school of Theotocopuli produced Maino, Tristan, and Orrente, who rank among the best Castilian painters.
