The Disrobing of Christ or El Expolio (Latin: Exspolĭum) is a painting begun in the summer of 1577 and completed in the spring of 1579 for the High Altar of the sacristy of the Cathedral of Toledo where it still normally hangs. In late 2013 it was on temporary display at the Prado in Madrid (with the other El Grecos) following a period of cleaning and conservation work there; it is due to return to Toledo in 2014. It is one of El Greco’s most famous works.
