"Christ Healing the Blind" is a painting by El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos), created around 1570, depicting the biblical scene of Jesus healing a blind man. El Greco's characteristic elongated figures and vibrant colors create a sense of drama and emotion, emphasizing the miracle unfolding before the observer. The scene takes place in a public setting, showcasing the impact of Christ's healing powers on the community.
