" Pieter Brueghel the Elder or Bruegel (c.1525 – September 9, 1569) was a Flemish/Dutch Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes (Genre Painting). He is nicknamed 'Peasant Brueghel' to distinguish him from other members of the Brueghel dynasty, but is also the one generally meant when the context does not make clear which "Brueghel" is being referred to. From 1559 he dropped the 'h' from his name and started signing his paintings as Bruegel. He was an apprentice of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter Mayke he later married. In 1551 he was accepted as a master in the painters' guild of Antwerp. He traveled to Italy...later settline in Brussels. He was the father of Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder. Both became painters, but as they were still infants when their father died and neither received any training from him.
