The subject matter of his art included Biblical scenes, genre scenes, and portraits. He was also an illustrator for many books during his time.


Swanenburg was born in Leiden. He learned drawing and engraving from his father, together with his brothers Jacob (1572-1652) and Claes (1572-1652), who both became respected painters. According to Houbraken he was a respected engraver who became "Hopman" (flag-bearer) of the Leiden schutterij, but died young.
