Pieter Brueghel

Born in Brueghel,  He was a Flemish renaissance painter and printmaker. He was known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. He is sometimes referred to as Peasant Brueghel. Later, he switched to simpler art, rather than the Ialian style. One of his paintings are The Triumph of Death. He specailized in Genre Paintings. In 1559, he dropped the "h" from his name. He is, by far, the most important of his family. He was fascinated by hobgoblins, fires, and grotesque figures. He made his career in Antwerp.
He painted teh Peasant dance, a painting that relies on detail and realism.
