With the death of Julio Romero de Torres on May 10, 1930, his widow and children, moved by the sentiment shown by the city, decided to donate the painter’s works and belongings to Córdoba. Among the donated items was a collection of documents comprising the artist’s Archive, Library, Photographic Archive, and Newspaper Archive, which extensively illustrate his biography and illustrious career. This valuable legacy provides a view far from the clichés surrounding Romero de Torres, revealing him as a figure who transcended borders and gained national and international recognition during his lifetime as a master of painting.
The Painter’s Digital Archive offers all researchers and interested individuals access to the Archive and Photographic Archive, either jointly or individually, through various search options, allowing for the visualization of all documents and photographs contained within.
