Dirck de Quade van Ravesteyn (1565 – 1620), was a Dutch Golden Age painter active in the court of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor.
He was probably born in the Hague where his father Claes was a member of a family of artists. He is considered an important member of the internationally known Prague school of Dutch and Flemish painting under Emperor Rudolf II (who reigned from 1576 to his death in 1612). [1] Quade van Ravesteyn was successful enough to own his own house in the Malá Strana in 1598. [2] He was also recorded lending large sums of money in the same period, possibly to subcontract commissions or enable other artists to purchase properties. After Rudolf's death in 1612 he was succeeded by Matthias who died in 1619 and in that year Quade van Ravesteyn was mentioned as a creditor of both emperors, though he may have returned to the Netherlands by then. [2]
Like other Rudolfine artists, his works have been mostly dispersed over the world, with only a few remaining in Prague in the National Gallery there.

Working in Prague as a court artist for the Holy Roman emperor Rudolf II, he responded to his patron's aesthetic preferences by developing a version of the artistic style referred to as Northern Mannerism. This style stressed sensuality, which was expressed in smoothly modeled, elongated figures arranged in elegant poses, often including a nude woman seen from behind. Spranger's unique style combining elements of Netherlandish painting and Italian influences, in particular the Roman Mannerists, had an important influence on other artists in Prague and elsewhere, in particular the Dutch Republic, as his paintings were disseminated widely through prints as well as by artists who had worked with him such as Karel van Mander.

Jacob Hoefnagel himself became a court painter to Rudolf II and to the Swedish court. He is noted for his illustrations of natural history subjects as well as his portraits, topographical views, emblems and mythological works, which continue his father's style.

His definitive work on the subject was the Gemmarum et Lapidum Historia (1609).

Styles largely derived from Italian Mannerism were found in the Netherlands and elsewhere from around the mid-century, especially Mannerist ornament in architecture; this article concentrates on those times and places where Northern Mannerism generated its most original and distinctive work.
