Bartholomeus Spranger was a Flemish painter, draughtsman, sculptor, and print designer who developed a unique Northern Mannerist style, characterized by sensuality and elegant poses. His work combined Netherlandish and Italian influences, featuring smoothly modeled, elongated figures. As a court artist for Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, Spranger's style had a significant impact on other artists.
Spranger's distinctive style influenced artists in Prague and beyond, including the Dutch Republic, through widely disseminated prints and collaborations with artists like Karel van Mander.
