Pieter Brueghel the Elder was part of a very artistic family. His sons, Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder, would also become Northern Renaissance artists. And the son of Jan Brueghel the Elder, who was conveniently named Jan Brueghel the Younger also followed in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather.
With his focus on peasants life, Pieter Brueghel the Elder's work seems fun to look at. However closer looks often lead to discovering the less positive, moral undertone of the peasants' lifes.
