Breughel, Jan
Nationality: Belgian (Flemish)
Lifespan: (c. 1569 ~ 1642)
Flemish painter and son of Pieter Brueghel, the elder, was born at Brussels. He first applied himself to painting flowers and fruits, and
afterwards acquired considerable reputation by his landscapes and sea-pieces.
After residing long at Cologne he travelled into Italy, where his landscapes, adorned with small figures, were greatly admired.
He left a large number of pictures, chiefly landscapes, which are executed with great
skill. Rubens made use of Breughel's hand in the landscape part of several of his small pictures--such as his "Vertumnus and Pomona," the "Satyr viewing the Sleeping Nymph," and the "Terrestrial Paradise."
