![Martín Rico y Ortega - The Ladies’ Tower at the Alhambra [1871]](http://c1.staticflickr.com/1/333/18188136768_2a897efbef_o.jpg)
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.
