This Japanese exhibition traced El Greco’s development as a painter, from the icon-like manner of his early Italian period to the intense religious expression of his later work. The National Museum of Western Art’s contemporary report records 49 paintings at the Tokyo presentation and highlights the comparison of two closely related Annunciation paintings from Budapest and Kurashiki. The exhibition opened in Tokyo in October 1986, travelled to Nara in January 1987, and concluded at the Aichi Prefectural Cultural Hall Art Museum in Nagoya in March. The National Gallery of Art documents its Madonna and Child with Saint Martina and Saint Agnes, painted in 1597–1599, as catalogue number 25 in this tour. The selected checklist here identifies that exact Washington painting. Its participation is documented for the shared tour; a stop-specific object checklist has not been examined, so participation is not assigned independently to each venue. The complete catalogue checklist remains to be reconciled.
