	Pieter Bruegel
		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.
		Bruegel's pictures have been variously interpreted as referring to the beliefs of different religious thinkers, to the conflicts between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, to the political domination of the Lowlands by the Spanish, and as visual equivalents to dramatic allegories performed publicly by Flemish societies of rhetoric.

	Famous Belgians - Peter Bruegel the Elder
		Bruegel was patronized, however, by Cardinal Antoine Perrenot de Granville, advisor to Philip II, and about 1563 he moved from Antwerp to Brussels, the seat of the Spanish government in the Netherlands.
		Bruegel probably viewed organized religion as an obstacle between man and God; his “Parable of the Blind”, also known as “The Blind Leading the Blind” (1568; Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples) may be interpreted as illustrating this idea.
		Three of Peter Bruegel the Elder's grandsons were painters : Peter III (1589-1634), son of Peter the Younger; and Ambrosius (1617-1675) and Jan the Younger (1601-1678), both sons of Jan I. Each imitated the work of his father.

	Biography
		Pieter Bruegel the Elder (byname Peasant Bruegel, also spelled Brueghel or Breughel), the greatest Flemish 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 Cripples
		Bruegel is known as an uncannily accurate observer; it seems inconceivable that he would inaccurately portray a disease as easily described as leprosy.
		If we correctly conclude that Bruegel was a humanist, it might follow that The Cripples was actually Bruegel's ironic indictment of the futility of the power struggles of his day and the fruitlessness of their outcome, as seen in the wreckage of humanity left in its wake.
		Bruegel is often considered a chronicler of the masses and champion of folk life because of this style.

		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.

	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.
		For the rest of his life Bruegel was active as both a painter and a designer of prints, although after about 1562 painting seemed to have occupied most of his time.
		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.

	Bruegel's "Hunters in the Snow" - Talk for Terrain Gallery / Aesthetic Realism Foundation by Nancy Huntting
		I love this painting, "Hunters in the Snow" by Pieter Bruegel, the great Flemish painter of the 16th century.
		A clearly enunciated diagonal movement, marked by dogs and hunters, and trees, starts from the lower left-hand corner and continues, less definitely but none the less surely, by the road, the row of small trees, and the church far across the valley to the jutting crags of the hills.
		And this crossing of diagonal lines is repeated in details - in the hunters' spears, in the roofs of the houses, where the flying bird crosses the horizon, in the branches of the trees, and even in the tiny figures skating.

		Thus Bruegel was faced with the problem of realizing pictures of God in his artistic medium, which he was only able to do by showing what God is not.
