About Julio Romero de Torres Museum#

The Julio Romero de Torres Museum is an art museum in Córdoba, Andalusia, devoted to the life and work of the Cordoban painter Julio Romero de Torres (1874-1930). It holds the principal public collection of his paintings and related material.

Exhibits concentrate on Romero de Torres’s oil paintings, preparatory drawings and portraits, showing his figurative and symbolist style. The collection offers a focused view of the artist rather than a wide-ranging modern-art programme, so most visitors spend under two hours viewing the holdings.

The museum was created in the 20th century to preserve and display the artist’s work after his death and to present his importance in Andalusian cultural history. Its collection has been built from donations and institutional acquisitions tied to Córdoba’s cultural institutions.
