	Pieter Brueghel the Elder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was an apprentice of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter Mayke he later married, and was in 1551 accepted as a master in the painters' guild of Antwerp.
		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.
		Bruegel specialized in landscapes populated by peasants, painted in a simpler style than the Italianate art that prevailed at the time.

	Biography
		Pieter Bruegel the Elder (byname Peasant Bruegel, also spelled Brueghel or Breughel), the greatest Netherlandish painter of the 16th century, whose landscapes and vigorous, often witty scenes of peasant life are particularly renowned.
		Bruegel was to work for Cock until his last years, but, from 1556 on, he concentrated, surprisingly enough, on satirical, didactic, and moralizing subjects, often in the fantastic or grotesque manner of Hiëronymus Bosch, imitations of whose works were very popular at the time.
		Bruegel died in 1569 and was buried in Notre-Dame de la Chapelle in Brussels.

		Pieter Bruegel (the Elder) was a Flemish artist active in Antwerp and Brussels, famous for his paintings and drawings of landscapes and scenes of robust peasant life, and founder of a dynasty of artists that remained active well into the 17th century.
		Bruegel'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.
		All Bruegel's paintings are marked by a perceptive observation of human nature, a pervasive wit, and the vitality of his peasant figures.

	MyStudios- Pieter Bruegel
		Bruegel was named after his birthplace, but there is no general agreement which of three possible villages this was.
		Yet, despite the admiration of Rubens and the fact that most of his paintings were quickly acquired for royal collections, Bruegel's reputation declined until the great revival of interest in his work at the beginning of the 20th century.
		Briefly, the outstanding feature of Bruegel's style is its independence of Italian models at the time when most of his contemporaries in the Netherlands were already Romanists.

	BookRags: Pieter Bruegel, the Elder Biography
		Pieter Bruegel lived at a time when northern art was strongly influenced by Italian mannerism, but despite the requisite journey to Italy for purposes of study, he was astonishingly independent of the dominant artistic interests of his day.
		From the fact that Bruegel entered the Antwerp painters' guild in 1551, we may infer that he was born between 1525 and 1530.
		The seeming accord between the peasant and his natural environment, one of the main tenets of Bruegel's art, is oddly vitiated by the presence of a gallows at the center of the composition.

	Pieter Bruegel the Elder Biography
		Although Bruegel was famous in his own lifetime, the archaic appearance of much of his imagery and his disinclination to adopt the idealized style of portraiture developed by the Italian Renaissance artists had, at least in sophisticated circles, an adverse effect on his reputation both during his lifetime and after his death.
		Indeed Pieter Bruegel the Elder was the head of a dynasty which comprised four generations of artists, although non destined to be so great as himself.
		Like Degas, Bruegel was evidently fond of figure-shapes which are formally complete in themselves and it is noticeable how often his figures are shown from the back, lending even greater simplicity to the form.

		1525/30–1569), commonly known as Pieter Bruegel the Elder, was the greatest member of a large and important southern Netherlandish family of artists active for four generations in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		Bruegel was, in fact, patronized mainly by scholars, wealthy businessmen, and connoisseurs, and was on friendly terms with some of the most prominent humanists of the Netherlands, including the cartographer Abraham Ortelius and the publisher Christoph Plantin.
		Though rooted in the legacy of calendar scenes, Bruegel's emphasis is not on the labors that mark each season but on the atmosphere and transformation of the landscape itself.

		The name Rheinisch Stoneware (sometimes labeled 'Rhenish') stems from the river Rhine (in German, 'Rhein'), along which it was predominantly made during Bruegel's lifetime in the 16th C. Above we see two examples of Rheinisch stoneware, a four handled and a single handled jug, extracted from Bruegel's painting.
