# BRUEGHEL, Ambrosius [View the canonical artist record]() ## Artist - Lifespan: 1617–1675 - Profession: painter - School: Flemish ## Biography Ambrosius Brueghel was a Flemish painter, the younger son Jan Brueghel the Elder. He continued his father's style together with his brother Jan Brueghel the Younger \(1601-78\). Their sons carried on the tradition into the 18th century. Pieter Bruegel \(1520-69\), usually known as Pieter Bruegel the Elder to distinguish him from his elder son, was the first in a family of Flemish painters. He spelled his name Brueghel until 1559, and his sons retained the "h" in the spelling of their names. ## Related artworks - [Holy Virgin and Child]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
