The answer is mannerism. El Greco endeavored to express religious feeling with overstated characteristics. After the practical delineation of the human shape and the dominance of point of view accomplished in high Renaissance Classicism, a few specialists began to purposely twist extents in disconnected, silly space for enthusiastic and masterful impact. El Greco still is a profoundly unique craftsman. El Greco has been portrayed by current researchers as a craftsman so person that he has a place with no ordinary school. Enter parts of Mannerism in El Greco incorporate the shaking "corrosive" palette, lengthened and tormented life structures, unreasonable point of view and light, and dark and upsetting iconography.
Artists often choose a symbolic approach in their artworks to represent their way of thinking,how they understand a meaning or often to resemble uniqueness and hidden aspects of their artworks.(Its my own answer I hope this helps)
Mannerism has been interpreted as an artistic expression of the unsettled political and religious conditions in Europe. I think. If i got wrong its fine.
