 Brueghel - Breughel
The themes range from pictures of Flemish villages in the changing seasons, which were already known in the 16th century, of related peasant revelries and religious festivities, to the first realistic portraits of flowers and landscapes which heralded a new view of the world in the 17th century.
The double exhibition is dedicated to Pieter the Younger (1564/5 - 1637/8) and Jan the Elder (1568 - 1625), whose art determined the style of Flemish painting around 1600, which developed in its own distinct fashion after the separation of Catholic Flanders from the Protestant Netherlands in 1585.
Despite the proximity in form and content to their models the artistic independence of both sons is clear to see, and their artistic interpretations already point the way forward to the new century.

He was the father of Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder who both became painters, but as they were still infants when their father died neither received any training from him.

He is often credited as being the first western painter to paint landscapes for their own sake, rather than as a backdrop to a religious allegory.
