Fodor's Expert Review Museo Julio Romero de Torres
Cordoba
Specialty Museum
Across the courtyard from the Museo de Bellas Artes, this museum, housed in a 19th-century palace, is devoted to the early-20th-century Córdoban artist Julio Romero de Torres (1874–1930), who specialized in mildly erotic portraits of demure, partially dressed Andalusian temptresses. Romero de Torres, who was also a flamenco cantaor (singer), died at the age of 56 and is one of Córdoba's greatest folk heroes.
