The king noted that the new exhibition “offers a journey through the history of Spain through the continuity of ownership that is symbolized in the royal collections” and highlighted the “stable exhibitionist discourse” of a “flexible, modern and innovative” collection, which “shows the work of patronage and collection with the gallery and making the artistic jewels of the collections available to citizens”. “Extraordinary physical testimonies of our shared history and culture,” have confirmed.

Felipe VI stressed that it is not only a matter of “a splendid collection of first-rate pieces of art from the national heritage collections themselves”, but that “in addition to the aesthetic enjoyment and the immense cultural value of the works”, they acquire their meaning “in the context in which they were produced in the places in which they were: the real places in which they lived and in a period of time fundamentally defined between the XII and Alphonse Catholic Kings”.
