The statue of Laocoön and His Sons, also called the Laocoön Group (Italian: Gruppo del Laocoonte), has been one of the most famous ancient sculptures since it was excavated in Rome in 1506 and put on public display in the Vatican Museums, where it remains today. The statue is very likely the same one that was praised in the highest terms by Pliny the Elder, the main Roman writer on art. El Greco depicted serpents, sent by the angry gods, engaging Laocoön and one son in a mortal struggle, while a second son lies already dead at his father's side. The identity of the unfinished figures on the right continues to be debated; perhaps they represent the gods themselves supervising their vengeance.

El Greco's painting Laocoön marks a climactic point in his Spanish period, one defined by novelty, complexity, and the destabilization of the paradigms of classical sculpture ().Produced shortly before the artist's death in 1614, El Greco's Laocoön exemplifies the work of his last years in that it illustrates the auxiliary role that sculpture had come to play in his art. El Greco's painting deliberately breaks away from the balance and harmony of Renaissance art with its strong emotional atmosphere and distorted figures. The Laocoön is an oil painting created between 1610 and 1614 by Greek painter El Greco. It is part of a collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Walter S. Cook, "El Greco's Laocoön in the National Gallery", Gazette des Beaux Arts 26 (1944), 262, n. 1 maintains that the Laocoön was purchased before 1914 by Fischer's wife, whom he misidentifies as Frau von Schwabach.

Produced late in El Greco's career, the enigmatic and moving Laocoon is his only masterpiece with a mythological subject, taken from Virgil Aeneid.

Pese a nacer en la isla de Creta y tener una primera formación italiana El Greco es considerado como uno de los mejores artistas que se vinculan al arte español desde que en 1576 se trasladó a Madrid. El Greco's Laocoon may be interpreted as both the product of an iconographic and humanist tradition which links him to the Renaissance era of Titian, and as the allegorical representation of the rupture in tradition which separates the ancient pagan world and the Catholic religion.Winckelmann's break with Neo-Latin and Roman humanist tradition was intended to create a new tradition which.
