I believe the answer is:

el greco

(Other definitions for el greco that I've seen before include "Crete-born Sp. painter" , "He painted" , "Sixteenth to seventeenth century Greek-born Spanish painter" , "Spanish painter born 1541 in Crete" , "Famous painter's nickname" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
