Entre ellas se encuentran cuatro piezas de Soledad Sevilla prestadas al Museo Reina Sofía para la retrospectiva que dedica a esta artista con motivo de la concesión del Premio Velázquez de Artes Plásticas. También el retrato del escritor y político José Echegaray que realizó en 1905 Joaquín de Sorolla y que forma parte de la muestra de la Galería de las Colecciones Reales con la que se clausura el centenario de la muerte del pintor valenciano.

2024 National Photography and Plastic Arts Prizes go to two artists with works in the Banco de España Collection, Jorge Ribalta and Pedro G. Romero.

The Banco de España has a large number of pieces by Ribalta, including ‘Restoration’, a series of photos commissioned by the bank to document the exterior cleaning and restoration work at its head offices at Plaza Cibeles. The collection also boasts an early diptych by Pedro G. Romero, which exemplifies the conceptual density of his work.

The three new pieces featured are ‘Eclipse’, a drawing by Bermejo combining the hyperreal and the dreamlike, ‘Dextro’, by de Brun, an interesting example of her radical search for the limits of the pictorial, and Correa's photographic series on 'La Rinconada', a town in the Peruvian Andes whose locals are employed in gold mining.
