Tower_of_the_Koutoubia_Mosque

Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque is an oil on canvas painting by Winston Churchill, from 1943. It depicts a view of the Kutubiyya Mosque, in Marrakesh. The painting, the only one Churchill undertook during the Second World War, was completed on 25/26 January 1943, during a visit to the city by Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, following the Casablanca Conference. Churchill subsequently presented the picture to Roosevelt. It was later owned by Angelina Jolie. At its sale in 2021 the picture was described by Christie's as "Churchill's most important work" and achieved the highest ever auction price for a painting by Churchill.
