Breda, Peter Van
, a painter of
landscapes and cattle, was born at Antwerp in 1630; studied landscape after nature, and adorned his designs with
figures, correctly drawn and judiciously grouped. His
| icenes are generally enriched with elegant Roman buildings, fountains, monuments, and ruins. His style, though,
inferior, resembled that of John Brueghel. He died in.
1681. 1
