About the piece

Created in 1887 during his travels through Spain, Anders Zorn’s 'Gateway in Alhambra' captures the intense sun and cool shadows of the historic Moorish palace. This painting demonstrates Zorn’s legendary ability to render atmosphere with a confident, fluid hand, contrasting the pale, sun-drenched stone with the deep, saturated greens of the surrounding landscape.
