1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Photoexpertise von Geheimrat Prof. Dr. H. Zimmermann, dem ehemaligen Direktor der Staatlichen Museen in Berlin, vom 8. Januar 1963 liegt vor.
Spranger war päpstlicher Maler unter Pius V. und Hofmaler Kaiser Rudolfs II. in Prag und Wien. Er gilt als Hauptvertreter der Prager Rudolfinischen Manieristen.
Im Schaffen Sprangers finden sich vornehmlich allegorische und mythologische Darstellungen. Bei diesen und auch den selteneren religiösen Arbeiten wählte er bevorzugt Motive von erotischem Charakter. Auch die vorliegende Arbeit mit den fast gänzlich entkleideten Töchtern Lots unterstreicht diese Vorliebe Sprangers.
