The Disrobing of Christ

Further into the cathedral, outside the main worship hall, you’ll find one of El Greco’s masterpieces in the Sacristy. The Disrobing of Christ, started in the summer of 1577 and completed two years later, depicts the moment Christ ascends to Calvary. The sacristy’s ceiling, adorned with more of El Greco’s paintings, features saints and angels, adding depth and significance as they gaze down upon Christ.
