Devolviendo la luz a Sorolla
Culmina el proceso de restauración del lienzo «Voltaire contando uno de sus cuentos», una de las obras del pintor valenciano que conserva la Colección Banco de España. Esta restauración se ha realizado como fruto del convenio de colaboración que nuestra institución tiene con el Museo del Prado. Compartimos un vídeo en el que las responsables de dicha restauración nos explican cómo ha sido el proceso.
The Timepiece, Metaphor and Embodiment of Modern Times
Combining art and technology, clocks have always been central to the history of the Banco de España, which possesses a valuable collection of timepieces from different periods and provenances in a range of styles. A selection of these items is currently on show in 'The Tyranny of Chronos', an exhibition which juxtaposes the clocks with paintings, sculptures, tapestries and photographs that demonstrate the importance that has long been given to the notion of time in art.
Goya painting restored under collaboration agreement between Banco de España and Museo del Prado
The portrait of José de Toro-Zambrano y Ureta was the first of six commissioned by the bank from the artist between 1784 and 1788. The intervention has confirmed that a later artist added the medal on Toro-Zambrano's chest. All traces of which have now been removed.
