David Roberts - The Castle of Alcalá de Guadaíra [1833]

David Roberts - The Castle of Alcalá de Guadaíra [1833], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.

The broken profile Alcalá de Guadaíra Castle, near Seville, seen in the distance appears in a beautiful sunset reflected on the river. The image is the result of the evocative vision of the romantic Scottish painter David Roberts, a prominent representative of the British landscape, who exerted great influence on Spanish artists, especially in Genaro Pérez Villamil.
