Willem van Nieulandt II was apprenticed to Jacob Savery in Amsterdam at the age of ten. He left for Rome in 1601 to continue his training under his uncle, Willem van Nieulandt I, but soon entered the studio of Paul Bril, whose art was to have an indelible influence on his future output. He returned to Holland in 1604 and then moved immediately to Antwerp where he specialised in producing Italiante views with Roman ruins drawn from first hand observation.
