Biography: Pieter Brueghel (Bruegel) the Elder was born in 1525 in Breda, in the Duchy of Brabant (now in the Netherlands), although some think he could have been born in Bree (Breda in Latinized form), Belgium. He is generally considered to be Flemish, despite questions as to his actual birthplace. He died in 1569 in Brussells, Belgium, around the age of 44. He also apprenticed in Antwerp in Flanders to the Flemish painter Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter he later married. He became a member of the painter's guild in Antwerp in 1551. Brueghel was influenced by the art of Hieronymus Bosch and, after visiting Italy, the painters of the early Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his landscapes and village scenes showing the life of the peasants of his time. Descendants of his who also became well-known painters include his two sons, Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder, and a grandson, Jan Brueghel the Younger. Check out our
