| I think I'll need to wait for the next clue. Searched for a while but couldn't find it. | |

| Our artist was at one time a student of fellow Dutch artist Pieter Bruegel. Bruegel and our artist (maybe inspired by Bruegel) have both created paintings of a very well-known biblical tower. | |

| This Flemish artist was born in 1535 (or 1530 according to one art source). | |

| Definitely a dilemma. The painting looks familiar, but I sure can't find who painted it.

| Here's what we have so far: A Flemish artist, born 1535, student of Pieter Bruegel, active during the Northern Renaissance period, he and Bruegel both painted versions of a famous biblical tower, our artist also painted this winterscene. Next clue: He died in 1597 | |

I saw this so many times and ignored it becasue it showed up as a different colour - more yellow on my monitor | |

| Yeah Dale! I know, I've noticed it looks different on various sites. I even found one site that had a poster of just the bottom left section with the 2 people in it. Most sites had the painting titled Winterscene.... see blatant clue above I'm not at home now, I'll put up the painting and info when I get back to my other computer. | |

| Good Job Dale. All I ever came up with was Bruegel. Even when I looked for other artist who painter the Tower of Babel, none of his came up. Oh well. Enjoy you escape tot he cabinn Judy | |

| There's not a lot of biographical info for Valckenborch, this is the most detail I could find in one place (in French): http://www.artbible.info/art/large/622.html and: http://www.artbible.info/art/biography/lucas-van-valckenborch.html Here's a link to the Tower of Babel painting (with 2 by Bruegel under it): http://www.artbible.info/art/large/622.html (His brother Maerten also painted the tower) | |
