Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Netherlandish painter

1525 CE to 1569 CE

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525 – 9 September 1569) is a Netherlandish Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes (Genre Painting).

He is sometimes referred to as "Peasant Bruegel" 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 "Bruegel" is being referred to.

From 1559 he drops the 'h' from his name and started signing his paintings as Bruegel.
