Information About

Pieter Brueghel The Younger




Pieter Brueghel the Younger became a master in 1585 . He then started painting landscapes, religious subjects and fantasy paintings. For this last category he often made use of fire and grotesque figures, leading to his nickname "Hell Brueghel".

Apart from these own inspired paintings, Pieter Brueghel the Younger also copied the works his father created, thus often leading to confusion which of the two actually painted the painting. He also was known as Pieter the Great or Pieter de comisoma.


Works include:

  • ''Village Fair''

  • ''The Crucifixion''

  • ''Winter, Hunter in the Snow''
