Bartolomé de Cárdenas, commonly known as Bartolomé Bermejo (c. 1440 – c. 1501), was a Spanish painter renowned for his adoption of Flemish painting techniques and his significant contributions to the Hispano-Flemish style. Born in Córdoba, Bermejo's career was notably itinerant, with documented activity in Valencia, Daroca, Zaragoza, and Barcelona. His real name was Bartolomé de Cárdenas; the nickname 'Bermejo,' meaning 'reddish' in Spanish, likely referred to his hair color or complexion. (OpenAI, 2025)
