Ca. 1930 oil on board of The Alcazar, Toledo, Spain, pre-Spanish Civil War by A. Grosso

Very Good. Visible area of painting measures approx. 17 x 14 inches, frame measures 20.5 x 17.5; appears to be of a part of the Alcazar, the fortified structure at the highest point in Toledo that was heavily damaged during the 1936 Siege of Alcazar and which underwent extensive renovations after 1939. The original backing paper had some contemporary newspaper articles about the damage to the structure that we have preserved. Signed "A. Grosso / Toledo" at bottom right, not dated, could be the work of Alfonso Grosso Y Sánchez of Seville (1893-1983); the signatures are comparable, but the style is quite different. A lovely painting with vibrant colors.
