Jan Brueghel the Elder

(Flemish, 1568–1625)

Jan Brueghel the Elder was a Flemish painter known for his delicate depictions of floral still lifes and river landscapes. He was often referred to as the “Velvet Brueghel” for his ability to paint various textures with ease. Born in 1568 in Brussels, Belgium, he was the second son of Pieter Bruegel the Elder and the younger brother of Pieter Brueghel the Younger. Like his older brother, it is believed he studied with his maternal grandmother Mayken Verhulst, who raised both children in Antwerp after the death of their father in 1569. In 1590, Brueghel traveled to Naples before settling in Rome, where he was supported by the patronage of Cardinal Federigo Borromeo. Returning to Antwerp in 1597, the artist established himself as important member of the city’s Guild of Saint Luke. In 1606, Brueghel became the court painter of Archduke Albert in the Netherlands and was a close friend of Peter Paul Rubens. The artist died on January 13, 1625 in Antwerp, Belgium. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Prado Museum in Madrid, among others.
