Pourbus trained in Flanders and devoted most of his career to spreading the court portrait as it was interpreted in Madrid and in the courts under its dependence. He became one of the most important court portraitists of the early 17th century, working in Brussels, Mantua, Innsbruck, Turin, Naples and Paris, for an aristocratic clientele. A contemporary of Rubens, Pourbus is one of the Flemish artists expatriated in Europe.
