《圣迈克尔战胜魔鬼》创作于1468年,是巴尔托洛姆·贝尔梅霍(约1440- 1440年)的**部有文献记载的作品。他是一位15世纪的西班牙画家,目前只知道20幅左右的画作。这幅画于1995年被美国国家美术馆(National Gallery)购得,描绘的是天使长迈克尔(Archangel Michael)打败撒旦(撒旦是一个混血怪物),图斯的封建领主安东尼•琼(Antoni Joan)跪在旁边。这部作品因其对油画技法的掌握而引人注目,受到荷兰绘画的影响,在西班牙的同时代画家中无人能及。在对这幅画进行了详细的技术检查和修复之后,作者对这幅罕见的作品进行了精彩的描述,并配以高质量的新摄影技术,将这幅画置于贝尔梅约15世纪在阿拉贡的职业生涯的更广阔背景中。
Painted in 1468, Saint Michael Triumphant over the Devil is the first documented work by Bartolome Bermejo (c. 1440-c. 1501), a 15th-century Spanish artist by whom only about 20 paintings are known. Acquired by the National Gallery in 1995, the painting depicts the Archangel Michael defeating Satan, in the form of a hybrid monster, with Antoni Joan, feudal lord of Tous, kneeling nearby. The work is remarkable for its mastery of the oil-painting technique, influenced by Netherlandish painting and unrivaled by Bermejo's contemporaries in Spain. Following the painting's detailed technical examination and restoration, the authors provide a fascinating account of this rare work, accompanied by high quality new photography and placing the painting in the broader context of Bermejo's career in 15th-century Aragon.
