Jan Brueghel d. Ä. ( Jan 'Velvet' Brueghel velours * 1568 † 1625 )
Artist Jan Brueghel the Elder
Immerse yourself in the detailed imagery of Jan Brueghel the Elder, a master of 17th-century Flemish painting. With a delicate brushstroke and a keen sense for composition, he created magnificent landscapes, floral still lifes, and allegorical scenes of timeless beauty. Experience his works as a high-quality art print, elegantly framed canvas, or hand-painted oil painting!
He was born in 1568 in Brussels as the son of the painter Pieter Bruegel, who was called "the Elder" because of his second son, also named Pieter. In 1578, Mayeken, née de Coecke, Jan's mother, passed away, prompting the family to leave Brussels and move to Antwerp, where their grandmother, Marie Bessemers, a miniature painter herself, took care of the children.
At the age of 21, Jan left his homeland to travel through Europe. His exact route can no longer be reconstructed, but it is certain that he was in Naples in 1590, in Rome between 1592 and 1594, and until 1596 in Milan with Cardinal Frederico Borromeo, for whom he worked. Jan then returned to Antwerp and was admitted to the Saint Luke's Guild as the son of a master.
In 1599, he married Isabella de Jode, who gave birth to a son also named Jan in 1601. That year, Brueghel officially became a citizen of the city of Antwerp, and a year later, in 1602, he became the dean of the Saint Luke's Guild. Brueghel undertook a trip to Prague in 1604 and married Katharina van Marienburg the same year. From 1606, there is evidence that he was a painter at the Brussels court. A few years later, the artist traveled to Holland with van Balen and his friend Rubens and painted in the following years for Archduke Albert of Austria as well as for the Polish king before finally succumbing to cholera on January 13, 1625.
Jan Brueghel was a significant painter with many students, who, unlike his brother Pieter, achieved a certain level of prosperity. His painting initially followed his father's style, but Jan Brueghel quickly developed his own style, characterized by an enormous attention to detail, likely due to the early influence of his miniature-painting grandmother. His work reflects the transition of art from the 16th to the 17th century particularly well. Jan Brueghel became especially known for his flower still lifes, which earned him the nickname "Flower Brueghel."
