The latest update to our 'Highlights' section features three works currently on show in the 'Tyranny of Chronos' exhibition
The three pieces are: 'Triumph of Love and Eternity over Time', a tapestry by Jan Leyniers based on a design by David Teniers III dating from 1684; Isidoro Valcárcel Medina 's 'Clocks', combining urban action, photography and an artist's book; and 'Viral Diary', a collage by Seville-based artist Inmaculada Salinas created during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The other portrait by Annie Leibovitz featured in ‘The Tyranny of Chronos’: Pablo Hernández de Cos, former governor of the Banco de España
Commissioned by the Banco de España, the photo is a good example of the visual language used by Leibovitz in her portraits to highlight the psychology of her sitters.

The new works are the latest additions (and the first photographs) in the Banco de España's portrait gallery, a collection that has been built up over the institution's long history. The exhibition will be open until 29 March 2025. Prior booking is required.
