In 1576, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known as El Greco, arrives in Toledo to execute a commissioned altarpiece. That summer he falls in love with an aristocratic Castilian, Jerónima de las Cuevas, while painting her portrait. Though he has won the favor of both Church and State, El Greco is rejected as a suitor by Jerónima's family; moreover, she is already betrothed to a young nobleman, Don Luis. Jerónima, despite her growing love for El Greco, remains bound by her vows and kisses the painter goodby. Their farewell is witnessed by Don Luis, who has been brought to the scene by Pignatelli, an old enemy of El Greco's. After El Greco has been wounded in a duel by Don Luis, he paints a humiliating caricature of Pignatelli. The latter retaliates by planting evidence of witchcraft in the artist's home. Jerónima learns of the plot but is unable to prevent the arrest and imprisonment of her beloved. In time, El Greco's eloquent definition of his art wins him an acquittal from the Cardinal Inquisitor, and he is released. Seeking Jerónima, he learns that she died giving birth to his child. The grief-stricken painter falls into a melancholia that is destined to remain with him the rest of his life. After years of restless wandering, he begins spending more and more time at a mental institution where, by studying the faces of the inmates, he finds the inspiration for some of his greatest paintings. One day he is joined by a young apprentice--his son born of Jerónima.
