EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts the renowned Flemish painter and printmaker, Bartholomeus Spranger, in a self-portrait captured by his Dutch contemporary, Jan Muller, in the late 16th century. Spranger, born in Antwerp in 1546, was a leading figure in the Antwerp Mannerist school, known for his dynamic and theatrical compositions, particularly in portraits and genre scenes. In this portrait, Spranger dons the fashionable attire of the time, including a high-collared neck ruff, a voluminous shirt, and a doublet adorned with intricate lacework. His direct gaze, unwavering and intense, engages the viewer, inviting us into his world. The artist's occupation is evident in the tools of his trade displayed in the background: a palette, brushes, and a finished painting. Muller's engraving, created around 1597, showcases the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 16th century. The print's stark contrast of black and white highlights the intricacies of Spranger's clothing and the details of his portrait, making it a valuable addition to any collection of European art or fashion history. This print, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the lives of two accomplished artists of the time, showcasing their shared artistic vision and the fashion trends of the era.
