Legacy of Ramón de Errazu, 1904

In 1870, Rico moved to Granada and painted the Ladies' Tower, one of the constructions most identified with the Alhambra walls. The scene appears at noon on a sunny spring day.

This composition's balance and the fine treatment of the light give this landscape a certain feeling of perennial peace.
