This
type of work is typical of romanticism, an art movement which started
in Germany and UK in the XIII-XIX century. The Romantic artist
attached importance to feelings, nature, violence, imagination and
individualism and the North European mythology.
La
Torre del Oro was
bought by Museo del Prado in 1943. Before that we don't know where
have been this picture.
