"El Expolio" is a renowned painting by the Spanish Renaissance artist El Greco, created between 1577 and 1579. The artwork is housed in the sacristy of the Toledo Cathedral in Spain. This masterpiece depicts the moment when Jesus Christ is stripped of his garments before his crucifixion, a scene derived from the New Testament.

El Greco, whose real name was Doménikos Theotokópoulos, was known for his distinctive style that combined elements of Byzantine and Western painting traditions. In "El Expolio," he employs dramatic use of color, elongated figures, and expressive emotion, which are characteristic of his work. The composition is vertical, drawing the viewer's eye upwards, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the scene.

The central figure of Christ is portrayed with a serene and dignified expression, contrasting with the chaotic crowd surrounding him. The vibrant red robe of Christ stands out against the darker tones of the background, symbolizing his sacrifice and divinity. The figures around him are depicted with intense expressions, highlighting the tension and drama of the moment.

El Greco's use of light and shadow adds depth to the painting, creating a sense of movement and energy. The artist's ability to convey emotion and spirituality has made "El Expolio" a significant work in the history of art. It reflects El Greco's unique approach to religious subjects, blending realism with mystical elements.

The painting was commissioned by the Cathedral of Toledo and remains an important cultural and religious artifact. It showcases El Greco's mastery in capturing the human condition and the divine, making it a pivotal piece in understanding the transition from Renaissance to Baroque art.
