Abstract Lope de Vega boasted of having praised all the poets and painters of his time, and although that is mostly true, Lope never praised or even mentioned some great painters whom he must necessarily have met. This article studies Lope's relationship with one of those painters, El Greco, by comparing a sonnet from the Rimas sacras (1614) and a famous painting by El Greco, using this double analysis to suggest that Lope and El Greco shared some important interests.
