Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap, c. 1601, 40 x 57 cm, Madrid, Museo Nacional del PradoOne hundred and twenty-seven copies of the painting ‘Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap’ by Pieter Brueghel the Elder made. This, on the screen, is one of these copies. What happened in this case is that Brueghel’s son, also called Pieter Brueghel, ran a business that consisted of hiring painters to make copies after paintings by his father, responding to demand for them.Copies were made by tracing the originals or by using stencils. In the seventeenth century the scale of collections grew and the ways of acquiring paintings became more varied. -- source link
