Special loan from the Prado Museum, Madrid
This masterpiece by the prominent painter
El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos), who
was active in Toledo in the early 17th century,
is displayed here in celebration of 25 years
of diplomatic relations between Spain and
Israel. Christ's beloved disciple is depicted as
a handsome young man at a fateful moment
in his life, holding a cup of poisoned liquid
from which a dragon symbolizing evil emerges.
The medium-sized canvas presents him as an
ordinary, flesh-and-blood person whose faith
has the power to work miracles.
