Bartolomé Bermejo
Spanish, 1440–1500
Bartolomé Bermejo was a Spanish High Renaissance painter. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Museo del Prado, most of them oil paintings. Bartolomé Bermejo was born in Córdoba.
Bartolomé Bermejo was a Spanish painter who adopted Flemish painting techniques and conventions and so is considered as an artist of the Hispano-Flemish style. Born in Cordoba, he is known for his work in the Crown of Aragon, including the Principality of Catalonia and the Kingdom of Valencia. His real name was Bartolomé de Cárdenas: the name Bermejo, which means auburn in Spanish, possibly relates to his hair colour. Bermejo may relate also to his surname, Cárdenas; Cardeno means purplish. He signs himself sometimes as "Bartolomeus Rubeus" meaning possibly "Bartholomew the Redhead".
