Jan Brueghel the Younger, trained by his father, will spend his career producing works in a similar style.

Along with his brother Ambrosius, he produces landscapes, allegorical scenes and other works of meticulous detail.

Brueghel also copies works by his father and sells them with his father's signature.

His work is distinguishable from that of his parent by being less well executed and lighter.

Jan the Younger is traveling in Italy when his father dies of cholera in 1625 and swiftly returns to take control of the Antwerp studio.
