Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

"Pieter Brueghel the Elder or Bruegel (c.1525 – September 9, 1569) was a Netherlandish Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes (Genre Painting). He is nicknamed 'Peasant Brueghel' to distinguish him from other members of the Brueghel dynasty, but is also the one generally meant when the context does not make clear which "Brueghel" is being referred to. From 1559 he dropped the 'h' from his name and started signing his paintings as Bruegel."

That was the first paragraph from Wikipedia...you might want to check it out....they usually have some pretty good stuff.
