After he began to learn painting from his father, and after the death of the latter, he continued his training in the studio of Frank Maximiliaan (from 1535-1537) then in Antwerp Pieter Aertsen (from 1537-1540). In 1545, it is a free master in the Antwerp painters' guild. He then begins a journey across Europe: in France, then in Italy, where he lived first in Venice, before settling in Florence. He worked for Cosimo I de 'Medici and working with Giorgio Vasari for the decoration of Studiolo of Francesco I de' Medici, and that of Clement VII room of the Palazzo Vecchio. In 1565, he was part of teams of painters and sculptors responsible, under the direction of Giorgio Vasari, to realize the gigantic stage for the entry in Florence Joan of Austria, on the occasion of her marriage to Francis de Medici. Greatly influenced by the mannerist, including Michelangelo, Johannes Stradanus contributes to the development of the great history painting to the Italian. He painted altarpieces for Florentine churches. He also traveled to Rome from 1550 to 1553 and Naples in 1576. After a stay in Antwerp in 1578, he devoted much of his time to engraving. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
