He was the son of Pieter Bruegel. He is famous for small-scale history paintings, flower still-lifes, allegorical and mythological scenes, and landscapes, including imaginary mountain landscapes, forest interiors, villages and country roads, ports, river views, seascapes, hunting scenes, battles and depictions of Hell and the underworld. Died suddenly in a cholera epidemic in Antwerp; his son, Jan the younger, took over the studio.
