Jan Brueghel the Younger (1601-1678). Flemish Baroque painter, son of Jan Brueghel the elder and grandson of Pieter Brueghel the elder. He apprenticed with his father and continued in his style for his entire career. Together with his brother Ambrosio, he painted landscapes - allegorical scenes with an emphasis on sophistication and detail. He also copied the works of his father and sold them with his signature. They are distinguishable by their weaker sophistication and lighter shades. He also painted for the Viennese imperial court and collaborated with other painters of his time (Rubens, Hendrick van Balen (1575-1632), Adriaen Stalbemt (1580-1682), Lucas Van Uden (1596-1672) and others).
