Pieter Bruegal didn't like the mathematical one point perspective of Italian paintings. Pieter was interested in landscapes and peasant life.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder married a woman named Mayken Coecke, who was the daughter of the painter Pieter Coecke van Aelst. They married in 1563 and had several children together, including the notable artist Pieter Bruegel the Younger. Bruegel's family life and connections to other artists were significant in the context of his work and the art community of the time.
Pieter Brueghel, born sometime 1525, died 1569, is generally considered to be the greatest Flemish painter of the 16th century. He was well known for his Landscapes and pictures of Peasant Life. In 1559 he dropped the h from his surname.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c 1527 - 1569) was a Flemish painter. He was sometimes called "Peasant Breugel" because his paintings are often about peasant life. Many paintings are a sort of fantasy, sometimes reminding of Jerome Bosch. He had several sons, 2 of them became well-known painters.
Pieter Bruegel is known as one of the first renaissance artists to recognize a landscape on its own and not just the backgrounds of religious paintings. He also decided to paint about peasants who fascinated him. He also made paintings that were very complex and hard to understand. This led to a whole new creative style of painting, which was about peasants and landscapes, not just portraits and religious paintings. So Pieter decided to paint what he wanted to paint and not what every other artist at that time painted. This influenced other painters at that time as well.
The paintings of Pieter Breugel the Elder are scattered among a great many museums. The largest collections are in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria, and in the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
