Pieter Bruegel was born in
1564, although records aren't quite sure that is the correct date. He
came from a long line of well known painters, including his famous
father,
Pieter Brueghel
the Elder. He
worked primarily in Antwerp and Brussels, seldom traveling. He was
well regarded not only for his artistic talents but also for his
intellect and sophistication. Bruegel painted mainly religious themes
and peasant genres. Focusing on biblical proverbs and apocalyptic
scenarios. Through his artworks he made fun of the stupidity and
wickedness of human kind. He worked almost entirely for private patrons,
rarely securing church commissions. After his famous father he is
regarded as the greatest painter of the Netherlands during the 16th
Century.
