Więcej o książce

This exhibition catalogue highlights Bartolom Bermejo, a remarkable 15th-century painter from the Iberian Peninsula. Bermejo (circa 1440-1501) uniquely adapted the Flemish pictorial model, blending meticulous naturalism with a distinctive reinterpretation of traditional themes. The exhibition features nearly thirty of his works, brought together for the first time by the Museo Nacional del Prado and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Published alongside the exhibition, this book encapsulates over three years of research by specialists who explored archives, libraries, and restoration centers, as well as conducted firsthand examinations of the artworks. Their efforts have resulted in a new catalogue raisonné, unveiling fresh insights into Bermejo's personality, techniques, and iconographic contributions. The text is crafted to engage a diverse audience, from specialists to art enthusiasts, and is complemented by a wealth of illustrations showcasing Bermejo's artistic mastery. Overall, the book aims to enhance appreciation for this underrecognized painter. The contents include essays on Bermejo's art, his influence in the Crown of Aragon, a catalogue, a documentary appendix, bibliography, index, and information on other works on view.
