The title chosen for this exhibition that houses the official portraits of Felipe VI and Doña Letizia: The tyranny of chronos is called. Behind this royal inn is the firm of Annie Leibovitz. We have attended this unrepeatable meeting of the Kings with the author of the inns. His explanations, his story, his memories of that photographic session, how he gestured and how the monarch and his wife listened with attention and admiration.
Poetic the title, he said, and very tight to time, to Kronos, of course. Because this presentation to its majesty has taken its time. After three months since the light of Annie Leibovitz (last November 26); after a year from the real inn; After so much written about these images, the time has finally come: The kings have contemplated their own photographs.
In this official presentation, that curious image of the protagonist was produced with his own portrait. In this case, Felipe VI and Letizia, along with his photographs and in the company of the artist. For this unique occasion, Doña Letizia was in front of herself, dressed in an exquisite vintage of Balenciaga in black and a magnificent red layer of Guetaria’s teacher who slips from her arms. For this meeting the Queen El Rojo has chosen. Precisely red to go in perfect harmony with that chal of the painting. Because more than photographs are pictures. Letizia has worn a tailor suit of urban, polished and simple cutting. And because of gestures and smiles, he liked the job a lot.
