Pieter Brueghel the Younger
Habsburg Netherlands, 1564–1636
Pieter Brueghel the Younger was a Habsburg Netherlands Flemish Baroque painting painter. 61 works are cataloged here, principally at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, most of them oil paintings. Pieter Brueghel the Younger was born in Brussels.
Pieter Brueghel the Younger ( BROY-gəl, also US: BROO-gəl; Dutch:; between 23 May and 10 October 1564 – between March and May 1638) was a Flemish painter known for numerous copies after his father Pieter Bruegel the Elder's work, as well as original compositions and Bruegelian pastiches. The large output of his studio (some 1,400 pictures exist with plausible links to Brueghel and his shop), which produced for the local and export market, contributed to the international spread of his father's imagery. Traditionally Pieter Brueghel the Younger was nicknamed 'de helse Brueghel', 'Hellish Brueghel', on the belief that he was the author of several paintings with fantastic depictions of fire and grotesque imagery. These paintings have now been attributed to his brother Jan Brueghel the Elder.
