Aegidius Sadeler Jan Brueghel

Aegidius Sadeler Jan Brueghel was an artistic entity active around 1590, specializing in the production of highly detailed landscape prints often integrating religious or genre themes. The five prints documented in museum collections establish the significance of Aegidius Sadeler Jan Brueghel prints in late 16th-century graphic art.

Their subject matter spans dramatic biblical scenes set within complex topographical studies, such as Mountainous Landscape with The Rest on the Flight into Egypt and Riverscape with The Temptation of Christ. Other works center on isolated figures in natural settings, exemplified by Rocky Landscape with St. Jerome and Rocky Landscape with The Stigmatization of St. Francis. The production also includes genre scenes, notably Seashore with Fisherman and Fishmongers.

These historic high-quality prints are represented in major international institutions, with documented works held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Because of their age, many of these influential works are now in the public domain, ensuring their continued accessibility for study and appreciation.
