Abraham van Diepenbeeck (1596-1675) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, glass painter, print maker, and tapestry designer who worked most of his active career in Antwerp. He designed glass windows for various Antwerp churches and monasteries for which he made design drawings and oil sketches. He engraved and designed prints that were published by prominent Antwerp printers, including van Meurs, the Plantin Press, and Martinus van den Enden the Elder.
He had a close relationship with the workshop of the leading Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens and collaborated on various projects under Rubens’ direction. In the 1630s, van Diepenbeeck started to create monumental paintings. His work was influenced by Rubens and Anthony van Dyck.
