The Brueghels, Pieter the Elder, Pieter Brueghel the Younger (Hell Brueghel) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (Velvet Brueghel), embody one of the largest dynasties of Flemish painting.

This book is truly a work of art - the Brueghels have been favorites of mine for many years. The reproductions are worth the price of the book and then some. Would recommend this book to any serious student of Art History.
