Pieter bruegel paintings and dates

Circa 1525 - 1530?

Pieter Bruegel I was probably born in the Netherlands in Bruegel, Breda or possibly in Antwerp, Bree or Brogel in this period.

Circa 1545 - 1550

During this time, Bruegel is possibly a student of Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502 -1550) and possibly is trained as a miniature painter by Mayken Verhulst, who was married to Pieter Coecke van Aelst.

1551

Bruegel is registered in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke.

1552

Bruegel's earliest dated and preserved drawings come from this year.

He works together with Peeter Baltens (1527/1528 - 1584) on a now-lost altarpiece for the chapel of the glove-maker's guild in the St Rombouts Cathedral in Mechelen.

Allegedly, the contribution of Bruegel is limited to the grisailles on the canvases, with the likenesses of the Saints Gummarus and Rombout.

1553 - 1554

Bruegel finds himself in Italy. Possibly he was already there in 1552. The ability to discover first-hand the art fr Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The Metropolitan Museum of Art DELI
