BRUEGHEL , Jan the Elder ( b . c . 1568 , Brussels , d . 1625 , Antwerpen ) Flemish painter and draughtsman , second son of Pieter Bruegel the Elder . ( The father spelled his name Brueghel until 1559 , and his sons retained the " h " in the spelling of their names . ) Early in his career he visited Cologne and Italy , before settling in Antwerp in 1597 . He enjoyed a highly successful and honourable career there , becoming Dean of the Guild , working for the Archduke Albert and the Infanta Isabella , and making frequent visits to Brussels court . His specialities were still - lifes , especially flower paintings , and landscapes , but he worked in entirely different spirit from his father , depicting brilliantly coloured , lush woodland scenes , often with mythological figures , in the manner of Coninxloo and Bril . His exquisite flower paintings were rated the finest of the day , and his virtuoso skill at depicting delicate textures earned him the nickname ' Velvet Brueghel '. Often he collaborated with other artists ( notably his close friend Rubens ) , painting backgrounds , animals , or flowers for them . He had considerable influence , notably on his pupil Daniel Seghers , his sons Jan II and Ambrosius , , and his grandson Jan van Kessel . Further descendants and imitators carried his style into the 18 th century .
