Pablo Esquert (active 1559 - 1575) was a Flemish painter summoned to Zaragoza in Spain by Martín de Gurrea y Aragón, Duke of Villahermosa.[1] He was also known as Pablo Schepers, Scheppers, Eschepers, Paul Esquarte, Pablo de Ezchepers, Paulo de Ezchepers and Micer Pablo. Working in both Italy and Spain,[2] Esquert gained wealth and renown with his skills, especially in creating copies of famous works.[2] He was well known for creating copies of paintings by Titian, specifically painted in a Flemish style known as "delgada y muy gentil".[1]

Esquert's father was a painter, Pauwels Scepers, who resided in Mechelen.[2] Esquert eventually married Catalina van Steynemolen, the daughter of painter Jan van Steynemolen.[2]
