Bartolomé Bermejo was one of the most fascinating figures within Spanish art of the second half of the 15th century. Bringing together a remarkable group of paintings from Spanish, European and American museums, the Prado is able to present this survey exhibition, which has been organized with the collaboration of the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya and, for the first time, allows for an appreciation of the technical virtuosity and distinctive visual universe of this Cordovan painter active in the Kingdom of Aragon.

The Prado Museum is organising this exhibition devoted to the work of  Bartolomé Bermejo in collaboration with the Catalonia National Art Museum. The painter from Cordoba was one of the most fascinating figures on the artistic scene in the second half of the 15th century. 
 
This anthological exhibition will be held thanks to the bringing together of a remarkable series of paintings from Spanish, European and American art institutions. The exhibition will offer  the possibility to admire the artist’s pictorial mastery to the fullest for the first time ever.  

His technical virtuosity and suggestive visual universe are two of the aspects that define Bartolomé Bermejo. Born in Cordoba, the painter developed his professional activity in the Kingdom of Aragon.
