介绍（中）	扬·穆勒（Jan Muller）是十六世纪末最受欢迎的风格主义版画家之一。作为阿姆斯特丹印刷商、版画家和出版商的儿子，他以荷兰北部首屈一指的绘图员和版画家亨德里克·戈尔齐乌斯（Hendrick Goltzius）为蓝本，发展了一种风格。十七世纪初，他开始雕刻肖像。大多数是重要的政治人物，复制了各种艺术家的彩绘肖像，但少数是艺术家和音乐家。后者是巴塞洛缪·斯普兰格的肖像，他是最重要的北方风格主义艺术家之一，也是布拉格皇帝鲁道夫二世的宫廷画家。穆勒在斯普兰格的设计之后雕刻了十几幅版画，但目前作品的模型是德国画家汉斯·范·亚琛（Hans van Aachen）的遗失肖像，他也为鲁道夫工作。穆勒增加了一个精致的建筑框架，装饰着对斯普兰格美德的象征性参考，包括椭圆形上方的花环头盔和左侧的普托，盾牌和长矛指的是罗马智慧女神和艺术赞助人密涅瓦，以及右侧普托举着的喇叭宣布艺术家的名声。下面，支撑基座的是两个燃烧蜡烛的骨灰盒的图像，再次引用了艺术家的智慧。
介绍（英）	Jan Muller was one of the most sought-after Mannerist printmakers at the end of the sixteenth century. The son of an Amsterdam printer, printmaker, and publisher, he developed a style modeled on that of Hendrick Goltzius, the premier draftsman and printmaker in the northern Netherlands. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, he began to engrave portraits. Most were of important political figures, reproducing painted portraits by various artists, but a few were of artists and musicians. Among the latter is the Portrait of Bartholomeus Spranger, one of the most important northern Mannerist artists and the court painter to the Emperor Rudolf II of Prague. Muller engraved a dozen prints after Spranger’s designs, but the model for the present work was a lost portrait by Hans van Aachen, a German painter who also worked for Rudolf. Muller added an elaborate architectural frame decorated with symbolic references to Spranger’s virtues, including the garlanded helmet above the oval and the putto at the left with the shield and lance referring to Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and patron of the arts, and the trumpets held by the putto on the right announcing the artist’s fame. Below, supporting the pedestal are images of two urns with burning candles, again referring to the artist’s wisdom.
