		It is a measure of Brueghel's fastidious attention to detail that even this aspect of the painting was done in a way to facilitate the high finish especially characteristic of his paintings on copper.

	BRUEGHEL, Pieter, the Elder
		Brueghel’s art is often seen as the last phase in the development of a long tradition of Netherlandish painting beginning with Jan van Eyck in the 15th century.
		Brueghel clearly rejected the influences of Italian Renaissance art and its classical foundations, which dominated the work of many of his Flemish contemporaries.
		Brueghel’s art has been variously interpreted as referring to the conflicts between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, to the political domination of the Lowlands by the Spanish, and as parallels to dramatic allegories performed publicly by Flemish societies of rhetoric.

	Jan Brueghel the Younger - Flower bouquets in a white porcelain bowl and small vase
		Without a single element in excess, this enchanting and distinctive floral composition displays the unaffected opulence that is the unquestionable mark of the brilliant art of Jan Brueghel the Younger, one of the best floral painters of his generation.
		With a restrained layout that calls to mind the work of the Lombard school and in which the casual disarray of the bouquet is only an illusion, the subtly hued and delicately drawn blossoms stand out strikingly against a fl abstract background and a simple wooden tabletop.
		Applying a style that is considerably less baroque than the one in evidence in his paintings of garlands of flowers, Jan Brueghel still makes clear reference to his father's model here but integrates it into a quite original creation.

	ART: PAT STEIR'S 'BRUEGHEL SERIES' - New York Times
		Steir's inspiration was a 17th-century still life by Jan Brueghel the Elder, in Vienna, in which a vase and flowers against a dark background are framed on top by two perched butterflies and on the bottom by a variety of busy insects, including a testy ladybug and a scavenging grasshopper.
		In a brochure accompanying the exhibition, Steir wrote that for her the Brueghel ''is almost like a visual crossword puzzle with hundreds of connections between artists, styles and times.'' ''Vanitas'' is a term identified with 17th-century Dutch genre painting, in particular with flowers and the transience not only of their beauty but of life.
		In an attempt to explore and diagram this museum without walls and to link the passing of beauty in flowers with the passing of artistic styles, Steir divided a reproduction of the Bruegel painting into two grids, one of them four-by-four, the other eight-by-eight.
