Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564-1638) was
the elder of two sons born just a few years
before their father's death. Known as "Hell
Brueghel" because of his fascination with
hobgoblins, fires, and grotesque figures,
Brueghel Pieter the Younger made his career in Antwerp, where
Brueghel Pieter the Younger became
a master in the guild in 1585. Brueghel
Pieter the Younger is best
known as a copyist of his father's
paintings, as they were both popular and
scarce. In his own canvases, such as Village
Fair and The Crucifixion, Brueghel Pieter
the Younger shows a firm
grasp of space and movement. His son, Pieter
Brueghel III (1589-?1640), was also known
primarily as a copyist. |
