After beginning to learn painting with his father and following his father's death he continued his training in the workshop of Maximiliaan Frank from 1535 to 1537 then in that of Pieter Aertsen in Antwerp from 1537 to 1540. In 1545 he was received as a master in the Antwerp painters' guild. He then began a journey across Europe: to France then to Italy where he first stayed in Venice before settling in Florence. There he worked for Cosimo I de' Medici and collaborated with Giorgio Vasari on the decoration of the Studiolo of Francesco I de' Medici and on that of the Clement VII hall in the Palazzo Vecchio. In 1565 he was part of the teams of painters and sculptors charged under Giorgio Vasari's direction with creating the gigantic decoration planned for the entry into Florence of Joanna of Austria on the occasion of her marriage to Francesco I de' Medici. Greatly influenced by the Mannerists including Michelangelo Johannes Stradanus contributed to the development of grand Italian history painting. He painted several altarpieces for Florentine churches. He also stayed in Rome from 1550 to 1553 and in Naples in 1576. After a stay in Antwerp in 1578 he devoted a large part of his activity to engraving.
