description: "He made a career copying his father's masterworks—and thrived at it. While Pieter Bruegel the Elder left behind some of Flemish painting's most celebrated images, it was his son's studio that turned them into a product line, churning out roughly 1,400 pictures that carried the elder Bruegel's vision across Europe."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born between May and October 1564, Pieter Brueghel the Younger entered a world already shaped by his father's reputation—then lost the man himself while still a child. With no direct training from Pieter Bruegel the Elder, he built his practice around replicating the works he never watched being made, running a studio that fed both local buyers and export demand. The sheer volume—some 1,400 paintings tied to him and his workshop—made him less an innovator than a distributor, spreading his father's scenes of peasant life and moral allegory across borders. For centuries he carried the nickname "Hellish Brueghel," credited with fire-and-brimstone fantasies that turned out to belong to his brother Jan. He died between March and May 1638, having spent a lifetime in his father's long shadow—and having profited from it.
