(l503-1580)
Peter de Kempeneer was born in Brussels. He may have begun his career in the workshop of Bernard van Orley and he traveled to Italy and lived in Seville, Spain. He returned to Brussels in 1563 when city authorities contracted with him to design cartoons for tapestry makers. Designs attributed to him feature smaller, refined figures, richly dressed, in scenes set in large interiors or in landscapes that are seen from a raised viewpoint (Story of Saint Peter and Saint Paul [1563-1567]).
