In visual art, works (such as paintings, drawings, photographs, animation, or film), the background of a picture is whatever is seen behind the principle subject, e.g. figures, flowers, which may be called the foreground.
In spanking art, the foreground typically shows people - e.g. a spanker and a spankee, and certain items of furniture they use, such as a chair. The background may show the room or an outdoor setting where the scene takes place. Background can also show other people who are watching (minor characters) or an assisting person. In judicial spanking, other people are shown in the background as witnesses.
The background typically has the purpose of showing the setting or the environment of the scene. It determines not what is happening (this is the foreground's job), but where it is happening. In photographs and videos background is difficult to eliminate except with back-lighting or complete darkness.
An artistic technique common in drawing is to completely omit the background. A white or otherwise empty background (a) concentrates the focus on the foreground, and (b) gives room for the viewer's imagination and makes the foreground action appear "floating in time and space".
In manga and anime, backgrounds that only show abstract patterns, textures or colors are sometimes used to convey a certain mood for the panel or scene.
