"The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis" is a notable work by Bartholomaeus Spranger, a Flemish Mannerist painter, draughtsman, and etcher who became a prominent artist at the Habsburg court in Prague. The painting, created in the late 16th century, depicts the mythological wedding of the mortal hero Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis, parents of the famed Greek warrior Achilles. This subject was a popular theme during the Renaissance and Mannerist periods, symbolizing the union of the divine with the human and often serving as an allegory for contemporary political marriages.

Spranger's interpretation of the myth is characterized by his distinctive Mannerist style, which is known for its complex compositions, elongated figures, and dynamic movement. The painting is rich in allegorical content and classical references, reflecting the intellectual and artistic climate of the late Renaissance. Spranger's use of vibrant colors and intricate details exemplifies his mastery of oil painting techniques and his ability to convey texture and form.

The artwork not only showcases Spranger's technical skill but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges of the period. Having trained in Antwerp and worked in Italy before his arrival at the Habsburg court, Spranger's style was influenced by Italian masters such as Parmigianino and by the Northern European tradition, resulting in a unique blend of elements that contributed to the development of Northern Mannerism.

"The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis" holds significance in art history as a representation of the cross-cultural artistic influences of the late 16th century and as an example of the themes and styles that dominated the period. The painting is an important piece within Spranger's oeuvre and offers a window into the mythological and allegorical storytelling that was prevalent among the courts of Europe during the artist's lifetime.
