Jan Brueghel : a magnificent draughtsman
In 2019, we are looking back in Flanders and in Brussels at the crucial role that Pieter Bruegel the Elder played in the art-historical landscape of the sixteenth century. The 450th anniversary of his death is a good moment at which to rediscover the work of Jan Brueghel the Elder. The Snyders&Rockox House is therefore taking a closer look at the drawings of Jan Brueghel I (1568-1625), son of Pieter Bruegel the Elder and brother of Pieter the Younger. Together with Peter Paul Rubens, Jan was one of the most successful Flemish artists of the first quarter of the seventeenth century. He was at home in every market - an inspired painter of landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, historical themes, hunting scenes and allegorical and mythological subjects. Jan is seen as the inventor of the floral still, but he was also an important innovator in the depiction of landscapes, in which his father's artistic legacy and his visit to Italy played no small part. The art of painting is underpinned by that of drawing, by which the artist's talent and creativity can be measured. No previous exhibition has been dedicated solely to the drawn oeuvre of Jan Brueghel I. This major event is curated by Jan Brueghel scholars Dr Teréz Gerszi and Dr Louisa Wood Ruby, supported by Bernadett Tóth. The exhibition will feature some fifty drawings and several paintings, loaned by leading institutions like the Louvre, Rijksmuseum and British Museum. Exhibition: Snijders & Rockoxhuis, Antwerp, Belgium (05.10.2019-26.01.2020).

The Brueghels
Pieter I Bruegel the Elder was born around 1525, probably near Breda, and died in 1569 in Brussels. In Antwerp, he studied as an apprentice under Pieter Coeck, and later visited Italy to understand the reason for the growing influence of the Italian masters, but his style remained rather different from theirs. Fascinated by people, this ?painter of peasants? did not hesitate to paint scenes from the life of common people, as well as Biblical themes, the humour and restlessness of which strongly invoke Hieronymus Bosch. The contrast between the fineness of his canvases and the apparent simplicity of his subjects, characteristic of the great works of realism, testifies to the careful observation and great precision with which he created his pictures. He is credited with making a major contribution to the evolution of Dutch landscape painting. Pieter the Younger, his older son, was fascinated with the grotesque and the ugly, for which he was nicknamed ?Hell Brueghel.? He was the best copier of his father?s works and made his career in Antwerp. He kept the letter ?h? in his last name, as did other members of the family, in order to distinguish himself from Pieter the Elder. Jan I, the younger son, also visited Italy before settling in Antwerp. Having worked with Rubens and created works different from those of his father, since he concentrated on colour and lustre, becoming a master of still life. The delicacy of execution and the infinite care with which he painted his flowers earned him the nickname of ?Velvet Brueghel.? This work covers a century of Flemish painting through the history of one family, emblematic of art history as a whole. With the help of more than two hundred reproductions of the three masters and their contemporaries, the author provides an exhaustive overview of this family?s contribution to the evolution of the history of painting and to the marvel of the Flemish artistic tradition.

Die Bruegels
Die Bruegels - allen voran Pieter d.Ä., zusammen mit seinen Söhnen Pieter d.J. (?Höllen-Bruegel?) und Jan d.Ä. (?Samt- oder Blumen- Bruegel?) - sind die bedeutendste flämische Malerfamilie. Ihre Werke sind Zeugnisse des unschätzbaren Beitrags, den diese Familie in der Entwicklung der Malerei des nördlichen Europa geleistet hat. Sie entzogen sich bewusst dem Einfluss des italienischen Manierismus und schufen damit einen ganz eigenen, unabhängigen und tief im originären Charakter der Flamen verwurzelten Stil. In teils volkstümlichen, teils allegorischen Szenen schildern Pieter Bruegel d.Ä. und seine Nachfolger auf unnachahmliche Weise den Alltag der bäuerlichen und der städtischen Bevölkerung zur Zeit der spanischen Herrschaft über die Niederlande. In diesem opulent bebilderten Werk zeichnen die Verfasser, Emile Michel und Victoria Charles, ein lebendiges Bild, anhand dessen wir die Entwicklung der flämischen Kunst in der Zeit zwischen dem 15. und dem 17.
