Jan Brueghel the Younger
Jan Brueghel the Younger (1601-1678) was a Flemish painter, son
of Jan Brueghel the Elder.
He was trained by his father and spent his career producing works
in his father's style. Jan the Younger, his brother Ambrosius Brueghel,
and other fijnschilders ("fine painters") of the Northern
Renaissance produced landscapes, allegorical scenes and other works
of meticulous detail. Brueghel also copied works by his father and
sold them with his father's signature. His work is distinguishable
from that of his parent by being less well executed and lighter.
Jan the Younger was traveling in Italy when his father died of
cholera and swiftly returned to take control of the Antwerp studio.
He soon established himself and was made dean of the local guild
in 1630. Jan the Younger's best works are his extensive landscapes,
either under his own name or made for other artists such as Hendrick
van Balen as backgrounds.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
