In his short life, Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525-1569) – founder of a dynasty of painters – produced some of the greatest and most intriguing masterpieces of Netherlandish painting. From his beginnings in Antwerp, producing designs in the style of Bosch, to mature works such as the Peasant Dance, the Blind Leading the Blind and the Seasons, Bruegel offered a sophisticated home-grown alternative to the fashionable art of Renaissance Italy.
