Bartolomé Bermejo: Master of the Spanish Renaissance

12 June, 2019 to 29 September, 2019


National Gallery
Trafalgar Square , London , WC2N 5DN

From the glimmer of a jewel to the sheen of armour, Bermejo’s ability to capture light, colours and textures in oil painting was unparalleled in 15th-century Spain.

Bringing together seven of his rare works, six of which have never been seen in the UK, this exhibition explores how Bermejo drew inspiration from Netherlandish painting, using illusionistic effects and a rich colour palette, to become one of the greatest artists of the Spanish Renaissance.
