Pieter Bruegel the Elder {Term 3}

Study Notes:

During Term 3 we will become familiar with the works of the Flemish painter and printmaker, Pieter Bruegel the Elder of the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance. Bruegel was born in the Netherlands in the year 1525 AD and was an apprentice of Pieter Coecke van Aelst. Bruegel the Elder was the father of the painters, Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder. He died at the age of 44 in the year 1569 AD in Brussels.

Ask your children to add Bruegel the Elder, his teacher, and his sons to their Book of Centuries and locate the Netherlands on a map.
