Born in Antwerp, he likely studied under the marine painter Andries van Eertvelt. He traveled to Italy alongside van Eertvelt, working in Florence. From around 1630, he worked in Paris, where he studied under the Flemish émigré painter Jacques Fouquier, who taught him the art of etching.

He married the sister of the French painter, engraver, and publisher Jean Morin, and the two collaborated on publishing projects featuring van Plattenberg's engravings. He was a founding member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1648 and held the title of Peintre du Roy pour les mers. He remained a member of the Academy until his death in Paris.
