Bombelli was born in Udine, where he was apprenticed to his father, Valentino Bombelli, and his godfather, Girolamo Lugaro. He is claimed by some to have studied with Guercino.[1] He is best known for his full-length portraits of the Venetian nobility, dressed in their official regalia. A style of depiction which would be also used in the next century by Alessandro Longhi. He was a mentor to the painter Fra' Galgario (Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi).

Bombelli visited most of the courts of Germany, where he painted portraits with success. The Belvedere at Vienna possesses a portrait of Francesco de' Medici by him.
