Portrait of Rodrigo Vázquez de Arce

1587–1597 painting by El Greco

Portrait of Rodrigo Vázquez de Arce is an anonymous copy of a lost 1587-1597 painting by El Greco. It is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[1] It shows Rodrigo Vázquez de Arce, president of the Council of Castille, who also features in the same artist's The Burial of Count Orgaz.[2] Although it is different from other portraits by the artist, it still shows the strong influence of Titian and Tintoretto, who he had met in Venice.[3][4]
