#OTD Jan #Brueghel the Elder, #Flemish #Flower #Painter & #Landscape
#Artist, died.
He believed flowers should be painted alla prima (live specimens) & he was among the 1st to paint #Garlands. A friend of Peter Paul #Rubens, Jan's nicknames were "Velvet" or "Flower" because his brushwork was so delicate.
He once challenged Cardinal Federico #Borromeo on the beauty of #Flowers in a letter,
"Your excellency must judge for himself if the flowers do not surpass #Gold &
#Jewels.
