the Bruegel family sure had a lot of painters

turns out "Bruegel the Elder" and "Bruegel the Younger" are actually ambiguous. because there was a Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a Pieter Bruegel the Younger, a Jan Bruegel the Elder, and a Jan Bruegel the Younger. not counting all the other painters in the Bruegel family that aren't called "the Elder" or "the Younger"

incidentally, Anna Bruegel (one of those no-disambiguation-required painters, a daughter of Pieter Bruegel the Elder) married a different painter referred to as [name] the Younger.
