Answer 1

 

His most famous painting is probably the Burial of Count Orgaz. c.1586. Oil on canvas. Church of San Tomé, Toledo, Spain

Why was it made? To honor the memory of a good and pious man whom legend said that Saint Stephen and Saint Augustine descended in person from the heavens to bury him. In this painting El Greco put in portraits of the famous people of his time living in Toledo.
