The Torre del Oro (Spanish: La Torre del Oro) is an 1833 landscape painting by the British artist David Roberts. [1] It depicts a view of the Torre del Oro, a Moorish military watchtower in Seville in Southern Spain, and the adjacent River Guadalquivir. [2] A Romantic in style, Roberts toured Spain in the early 1830s and produced a number of pictures based on his experiences. [3] 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. [4]
