Brit.

/ˌbrɔɪɡəˈlɛsk/,

/ˌbruɡəˈlɛsk/

Forms: 1900s– Breugelesque, 1900s– Breughelesque, 1900s– Bruegelesque, 1900s– Brueghelesque.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Bruegel , -esque suffix.

Etymology: < the name of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c1525–69), Flemish painter + -esque suffix.Variants arise from inconsistencies in spelling the artist's name. Earlier sources mostly refer to Breughel or Brueghel , but the artist's own preferred form Bruegel is now more widely used. Bruegel's sons, including Jan Brueghel (1568–1625) and Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564–1638), retained the h that their father had dropped, and this is often used to distinguish them from him as artists. Thus the variant Brueghelesque may also refer specifically to their work, although this is usually not the case. The pronunciation with /ɔɪ/ has apparently resulted from the spelling with -eu- being interpreted according to the pronouncing rules of German (compare e.g. Freudian adj.). In Dutch, the painter's surname is pronounced with /øː/.

Reminiscent or characteristic of the paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c1525–69). Cf. Bruegelian adj.Pieter Bruegel the Elder is known for his depictions of landscapes, religious allegories, grotesque demons, and satires of peasant life.
