Biography

Painter, son of Jan Breughe the elder. He probably trained in the studio of his father and then went to Milan to meet his father’s patron, Cardinal Federico Borromeo. In the spring of 1624 Jan the younger travelled to Palermo, Sicily, with his childhood friend Anthony van Dyck. After the sudden death of his father in a cholera epidemic in Antwerp, Jan returned to the Netherlands, and by early August 1625 he was back in Antwerp, where he took over his father’s studio.
