Abraham van Diepenbeeck

[2] Van Diepenbeeck was born in 's-Hertogenbosch as the son of the glass painter Jan Roelofsz.

[1] It is possible that his move from his home town in 1621 was related to the war negotiations that were underway that year, which particularly threatened the northern border provinces of the Southern Netherlands, where 's Hertogenbosch was located.

It is believed that in the years 1626-1627 he assisted, along with the workshop of Rubens, with the cartoons for the tapestry series of The Adoration of the Eucharist.

De vita et verbis seniorum, sive, Historiae eremiticae libri X. Auctoribus suis et nitori pristino nestituti, ac notationibus illustrati, opera et studio Heriberti Ros-weydi Vltraiectini, e soc.

Around 1632 Rubens requested van Diepenbeeck to travel to France to make drawings after frescoes by Francesco Primaticcio (1504–157) and Nicolò dell'Abate (ca.

He refused to present the annual accounts of the guild for that year which were then prepared by Guillam Leestens in his stead.

[6] In 1648 the Antwerp painter Gonzales Coques undertook to supply a series of monumental paintings on the life of Psyche for the Huis Honselaarsdijk, a palace of the Stadtholder Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange (1584–1647).

The paintings in the series were to be made after designs by van Diepenbeeck and were executed by other painters from Antwerp.

As in 1652 Van Diepenbeeck had still not been paid the financial compensation for his work he filed a lawsuit against Coques.

The 18 stained glass windows in the Carmelite monastery in Boxmeer are attributed to van Diepenbeeck.
