==Works== There are about forty generally accepted surviving paintings, twelve of which are in the [[Kunsthistorisches Museum]] in [[Vienna]].<ref>Grove; Manfred Sellink in 2012 listed forty paintings, seventy drawings and seventy-five prints, the latter slightly higher numbers than other sources.</ref> Others are known to have been lost, including what, according to van Mander, Bruegel himself thought his best work, "a picture in which Truth triumphs".<ref>Wied, 17</ref> Bruegel only etched one plate himself, ''The Rabbit Hunt,'' but designed some forty prints, both [[engraving]]s and [[etching]]s, mostly for the [[Hieronymus Cock|Cock publishing house]]. As discussed above, about sixty-one drawings are now recognised as authentic, mostly designs for prints or landscapes. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" perrow="4"> File:Pieter Bruegel the Elder - 1557 - A Pig Has To Go in a Sty.jpg|''A Pig Has to Go in a Sty'' (1557), Bruegel's earliest genre scene, private collection File:Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The Fall of the Rebel Angels - Google Art Project.jpg|''[[The Fall of the Rebel Angels (Bruegel)|The Fall of the Rebel Angels]]'' (1562), [[Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium]] File:Dulle Griet, by Pieter Brueghel (I).jpg|''[[Dull Gret|Dulle Griet]]'' (1563), [[Museum Mayer van den Bergh | Museum Mayer van den Bergh, Antwerp]] File:Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The Wedding Dance - 30.374 - Detroit Institute of Arts.jpg|''[[The Wedding Dance]]'' (1566), oil on oak panel, [[The Detroit Institute of Arts]] File:Brueghel7.jpg|''[[The Census at Bethlehem]]'' (1566), oil on wood panel, [[Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium]] </gallery>
