El Greco was disdained by the immediate generations after his death because his work was opposed in many respects to the principles of the early baroque style which came to the fore near the beginning of the 17th century and soon supplanted the last surviving traits of the 16th-century Mannerism.[1] The painter was deemed incomprehensible and had no important followers[4] Only his son and a few unknown painters produced weak copies of El Greco's works. Later 17th- and early 18th-century Spanish commentators praised his skill but criticized his anti-naturalistic style and his complex iconography. Some of these commentators, such as Antonio Palomino and Céan Bermúdez described his mature work as "contemptible", "ridiculous" and "worthy of scorn".[5] The views of Palomino and Bermúdez were frequently repeated in Spanish historiography, adorned with terms such as "strange", "queer", "original", "eccentric" and "odd".[6] The phrase "sunk in eccentricity", often encountered in such texts, in time became his "madness".

The reversal of the cannibalism theme is seen in the violent and despicable behavior that the white slave traders assumed in their encounter with Equiano.
<h3>How does this inversion happen?</h3>
- Equiano shows how the behavior of Europeans towards Africans was as despicable as cannibalism.
- Equiano shows that cannibalism can happen by killing different cultures and customs.
- Equiano shows how Europe was at odds with its view of slaves.
Equiano highlights how Africans were enslaved by the European view that they were uncivilized and cannibalistic, which, for them, was something despicable and that had to be fought. However, the slavers traders were white Europeans who treated their victims with extreme violence, killing them and suppressing their cultures. This kind of behavior is as immoral as cannibalism, but it was encouraged among Europeans.
