Pieter Bruegel


This copy I made was from the artist Pieter Bruegel (Brueghel) the Elder. (Born 1525 – died 9 September 1569) was a Flemish Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes (so called genre painting). He is sometimes referred to as the "Peasant Bruegel" to distinguish him from other members of the Brueghel dynasty, but he 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 signed his paintings as Bruegel. I drew this with graphite on recycled grey paper.
