description: The panel of the Descent of Christ into Limbo is one of the four compartments of an altarpiece by Bartolomé Bermejo, a painter from Cordoba that developed his work known in the Corona de Aragón. Bermejo’s work, characterized by a realism that has no idealisations, incorporates many of the novelties of the Nordic art, like the use of oil as binder, replacing egg tempera.
