'''Pieter Bruegel the Elder''' (b. Breda, Netherlands c. 1525 – 1569) was a [[Renaissance]] [[painter]] and printmaker. He was the first in a family of Flemish painters.
''Though he was sometimes called "Peasant" Bruegel, due to the common folk with which he populated his genre paintings, Bruegel himself was a sophisticated city-dweller who had traveled to Italy. His seemingly simple scenes of everyday life are full of commentary on the religious controversies of his time.''
