The Torre del Oro

The Torre del Oro is an 1833 landscape painting by the British artist David Roberts. It depicts a view of the Torre del Oro, a Moorish military watchtower in Seville in Southern Spain, and the adjacent River Guadalquivir. A Romantic in style, Roberts toured Spain in the early 1830s and produced a number of pictures based on his experiences. He later became known for his Orientalist paintings of the Middle East. The painting is now in the collection of the Museo del Prado, in Madrid.
