The Museum of Julio Romero de Torres (1874-1930)
is also located in the same building as the fine
arts museum, it is where he once lived and now houses this famous
contemporary Cordoba painters' works.
It also has works of other famous baroque, renaissance
and contemporary painters; Zurbarán, Alejo Fernandez, Antonio
del Castillo and Valdés Leal.
You visit four rooms and discover the life and work
of the painter from his first paintings to his later more symbolic
work which includes "La Copla", "Naranjos
y Limones" (a nude study 1928) and "La Chiquila
Piconera".
Many of his works appear to feature well proportioned
nudes in skilled poses. "Cante Hondo" is his most
macabre work (1930), "Look how lovely she was"
a deathbed scene (1895).
