Pieter Brueghel the Younger was born in Brussels in 1564 and was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp. The eldest son of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, he is known for making many copies of his father's works.
His own style is not necessarily clear, and he is said to have studied under Coninxloo. He fully expressed his father's manner of painting, which blended human life into nature based on real scenery and depicted a human world governed by great natural forces. His large workshop produced works in quantity for both domestic and export markets, which was one reason his father's imagery spread widely. He continued to work in Antwerp.
He died in 1638. His works include Hunters in the Snow and Peasant Wedding.
