Bartholomeus Breenbergh (before November 13, 1598 - after October 3, 1657) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of Italian and Italianate landscapes, in Rome (1619-1630) and Amsterdam (1630-1657). Breenbergh is first registered as a painter on an archival record in 1619 in Amsterdam, though he possibly was established there earlier. In the same year he left for Rome. In 1630 Breenbergh returned to Amsterdam. In 1633 he married, and received a yearly wage of 60 pounds from the court of king Charles I of Britain. He remained in Amsterdam until his death, where he made popular paintings and etchings of Italian buildings.
