In 1652, at twenty-four years of age, at the request of Carl Gustaf Wrangel, he moved to Skokloster Castle, from his art studies in the Netherlands. Between 1654 and 1661 he studied in Italy and visited the courts of both France and England. On his return he became entitled Court painter. He was raised to the nobility in 1674 and became court indendant in 1690. Mikael Dahl and David von Krafft as well as his daughter Anna Maria (born 1666) can be found among his pupils.

The allegoric great hall ceiling fresco, named ''The Great Deeds of The Swedish Kings'', in the Swedish House of Knights, made between 1670 and 1675, is considered to be his greatest work.
