Pieter Breughel the Younger (1564-1638)

"Pieter Brueghel (also Bruegel or Breughel)[a] the Younger (/ˈbrɔɪɡəl/, also US: /ˈbruːɡəl/; Dutch: [ˈpitər ˈbrøːɣəl] (listen); between 23 May and 10 October 1564 – between March and May 1638) was a Flemish painter, known for numerous copies after his father Pieter Bruegel the Elder's work as well as his original compositions. The large output of his studio, which produced for the local and export market, contributed to the international spread of his father's imagery.

Traditionally Pieter Brueghel the Younger has been nicknamed "de helse Brueghel" or "Hell Brueghel" because it was believed he was the author of several paintings with fantastic depictions of fire and grotesque imagery. These paintings have now been attributed to his brother Jan Brueghel the Elder." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.05.2021)
