The Harvesters by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1565
Apparently this was one of six paintings a merchant banker in Antwerp commissioned to track the months of the year — this one's high summer. Only five are known to survive.
Landscape with the Penitence of Saint Jerome by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1553
I couldn't find much on this one beyond the title — it's a drawing, and the saint part looks almost like an excuse to draw the view behind him.
Ice Skating before the St. George's Gate, Antwerp by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1558
This one's a print, not a painting — the credit line lists an engraver and a publisher too, so it sounds like a team job, not just one person's work behind it.
