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.
