EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print portrays Bartholomeus Spranger, a renowned Flemish artist from the Netherlands, born in Antwerp around 1546. The portrait, created by Jan Muller around 1597, showcases Spranger in the prime of his career, dressed elegantly in the fashion of the late 16th century. The artist is depicted with a serious expression, wearing a high ruff collar and a richly textured doublet. Surrounding him are playful cherubs, or amorini, and putti, symbolizing love and creativity. The intricate lettering at the bottom of the print reads "Bartholomeus Spranger, F. Artis, Inv. Jan Muller." Spranger was a prolific painter and printmaker, known for his portraits and genre scenes. His works were highly sought after in the courts of Europe, particularly in the Low Countries and Spain. This portrait, with its striking contrast of white and black, showcases Muller's exceptional skill as a printmaker. The inclusion of the skull at the bottom of the print is a reminder of the transience of life and the importance of seizing the moment - a common theme in Renaissance art. This rare and historic print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a testament to the enduring legacy of these artists and the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 16th century.
