Pieter Brueghel the Younger

Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564 – 1638) was a Flemish Renaissance painter, son of Pieter Brueghel the Elder. When he was only five years old, his father died. Pieter Brueghel the Younger received his artistic training from Flemish landscape painter Gilles van Coninxloo. Brueghel later even married the sister of his master.

Pieter Brueghel the Younger became a master in 1585. He then started painting landscapes, religious subjects and fantasy paintings. For this last category he often made use of fire and grotesque figures, leading to his nickname "Hell Brueghel".

Apart from these own inspired paintings, Pieter Brueghel the Younger also copied the works his father created, thus often leading to confusion which of the two actually painted the painting.

 

 

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
