Next on our list of El Greco paintings to see was to go to the Iglesia de Santo Tomé, where El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz (The Burial of the Count of Orgaz) is located. This painting depicts the funeral of the Count of Orgaz who was buried in 1322; supposedly, Saints Augustine and Stephen descended from heaven to attend the event. El Greco's work adds certain anachronistic guests to his work such as Cervantes, his son, as well as himself.
