"Il Martirio di San Lorenzo" (The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence) is a renowned Mannerist painting by Bartholomaeus Spranger, a Flemish artist who was active during the late 16th century. The painting depicts the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence, a Christian deacon in Rome who was said to have been martyred by being roasted alive on a gridiron during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Valerian in the third century.

Spranger, born in Antwerp in 1546, was a prominent figure in the Northern Mannerist movement, which was characterized by a highly stylized approach to art with elongated figures, exaggerated poses, and a dramatic use of color and light. "Il Martirio di San Lorenzo" is a prime example of Spranger's sophisticated and intricate style, showcasing his ability to convey intense emotion and movement through his work.

The painting is notable for its dynamic composition and the dramatic contrast between the anguished expression of the saint and the almost serene handling of the executioners. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, heightens the emotional impact of the scene. Spranger's work reflects the influence of his time in Italy, particularly the work of Parmigianino and the Roman school, which he encountered during his stay in Parma and Rome before he became a court painter in Vienna.

"Il Martirio di San Lorenzo" is not only a testament to Spranger's artistic skill but also serves as a reflection of the religious and cultural climate of the Counter-Reformation, during which the Catholic Church emphasized the veneration of martyrs and the dramatic representation of their sacrifices. The painting's exact date of creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the late 16th century, a period when Spranger's mature style had fully developed.

Today, the painting is recognized as an important work in the oeuvre of Bartholomaeus Spranger and continues to be studied for its stylistic and historical significance within the context of late Renaissance art. It remains an exemplary piece of Mannerist painting, illustrating the movement's departure from the naturalism of the High Renaissance and its embrace of a more expressive and idealized aesthetic.
