Bartolomé Bermejo: Master of the Spanish Renaissance

June 12 – Sept 29, 2019
Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross, London WC2N 5DN, UK

He left fewer than 20 paintings and his history is mysterious, but we do know that Bartolomé Bermejo was born in Cordoba, Spain, and led an unsettled life. His astonishing technical virtuosity—jeweled color, delicacy in detail—ranks him with the Flemish masters. Britain’s newly restored Bermejo—Saint Michael Triumphs Over the Devil—is presented along with six Bermejos never before seen in the U.K. Feast your eyes on St. Michael’s ruby-red cape and rainbow wings. —L.J.
