| Pieter Brueghel the Elder (1525-69) was a Flemish painter noted for his often satirical scenes of peasant life and his landscapes. He studied under Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter he later married but was chiefly influenced by Bosch. In 1563 he settled in Brussels where he created some of his best known paintings such as ‘Peasant Wedding’ and the ‘Labours of the Months’ series. |
 | Bruegel: the Complete Paintings (Basic Art Series) At a time when artists were still primarily occupied with religious or mythological subject matter, the great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel (c. 1525-1569) turned his eye on the everyday. Most of Bruegel's 45 surviving works, which are all reproduced in this book, record the facts of 16th century life in rural or small town communities. more information>>
