Der Begriff wurde 1505 von Baldassare Castiglione in einem Leitfaden für angehende Höflinge geprägt, die sich möglichst elegant und aristokratisch bei Hofe bewegen sollten. Der Grundgedanke dabei war, dass man selbst bei der enormen Körperanstrengung, die diese Verbeugungen und feinen Gesten kosteten, völlig unangestrengt und galant wirken sollte – nie verkrümmt oder verschwitzt.
The word was coined by Baldassare Castiglione in 1505 for a manual that taught up-and-coming courtiers to behave elegantly and aristocratically at court. The idea was that even though you might be doing an awful lot of physical straining or bowing, you should always appear absolutely effortless and sophisticated, rather than sweaty or hunched. The gesture of sprezzatura was quickly adopted by painting and sculpture, as it was linked to classical antiquity. You can find it throughout Western art from The Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel to traces of it in the hands of the Mona Lisa.

In seinen Lebenserinnerungen beschreibt der florentinische Bildhauer Benvenuto Cellini den Wettstreit mit der Malerei des Landsmannes Francesco Primaticcio, gen. Il Bologna, am Hofe Franz I. in einer bemerkenswerten Anekdote.
There are times when artists reveal their most precious secrets. An interesting anecdote in the Florentine sculptor Benvenuto Cellini's memoirs describes his rivalry with the painting of his countryman Francesco Primaticcio at the court of Francis I Subjected to his rival's intrigues and machinations during his sojourn in Paris from 1540-45, he saw himself forced one evening to present his sculpture Jupiter, which he had just completed, in the unfavorable twilight of approaching nightfall. Yet Cellini turned the situation to his advantage: "when night came, I set fire to the torch, which standing higher than the head of Jupiter, shed light from above and showed the statue far better than by daytime." Cellini understood how to manipulate the flickering candlelight to intensify the effect of his work: "When the King appeared, I made my apprentice Ascanio push the Jupiter toward his Majesty. As it moved smoothly forwards, my cunning in its turn was amply rewarded, for this gentle motion made the figure seem alive."
