Robbins was one of the most famous Baroque artists and was an apprentice to leading Italian artists such as Rafael, Michelangelo and Da Vinci, and in addition to his fame as a composition artist, Robbins was an accomplished architect and a seasoned diplomat.
His paintings are known for their large size, bright colours and emotional depth.
Peter Paul Robbins was born in Germany before his family returned to their home town of Antwerp, where he learned to paint from a young age. In 1600, he left for Italy, where he studied art, gained a lot of fame and was sponsored by princes and dignitaries.
Robbins' paintings are large, diverse and rich, and are now in the world's most famous museums.
