This prototype focuses on a persuasion of the outer fortifications of the Alhrambra.  The the Tower of the Seven Peaks is painted from Mihrab, The Captive Tower.  (The link is to a photograph of the same scene today)

I used a issue of courses to construct upwardly a moving-picture exhibit of this painting. However, the sources I constitute for around of the details of the paintings are inward unwieldy sites alongside images which are far also large - thus no links from here!

The prototype on Wikipedia has been overhyped alongside colour.  Hence I've toned it downwardly as well as muted it.  There are around online images of it inward a frame hanging inward an exhibition - as well as it looks much nicer inward those!

There was an exhibition of paintings of the Alhambra as well as Granada yesteryear Sorolla inward 2011-12 as well as I'd convey loved to convey seen it!
