I'm good at remembering faces, and sometimes life gives me a hand in this regard. I happened to be watching a travelogue on Spain, probably on PBS, and saw a segment on Doménikos Theotokópoulos, whom Spaniards called El Greco or "the Greek." The artist was known for his tall, somewhat strange portraits of aristocratic Spaniards.
Then the news brought Special Counsel Jack Smith to the fore. It was reported he asked the judge to drop two federal cases against Donald Trump.
What struck me is that Jack Smith has a face El Greco painted time and time again five hundred years ago. I'd been thinking he looked oddly familiar and here, I believe, is an explanation for my deja vu.
Jack Smith has an El Greco face.
