Editing Jan Brueghel the Younger (section)

===Still lifes===
A less prolific flower painter than his father, he was inspired by his father's works on which he produced his variations. His flower pieces are usually executed on a smaller scale and are less compact, slimmer and less detailed.<ref name=oxonline/>

His father had created the new still life category of garland paintings, a special type of still life developed in Antwerp along with other artists such as [[Hendrick van Balen]], [[Frans Francken the Younger]], [[Peter Paul Rubens]] and [[Daniel Seghers]]. These paintings typically show a flower garland around a devotional image or portrait.  This genre was initially inspired by the cult of veneration and devotion to [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mary]] prevalent at the [[Habsburg]] court (then the rulers over the Southern Netherlands) and in Antwerp generally.<ref name=garland>[http://www.hnanews.org/archive/2012/11/vl_merriam0912.html Ursula Härting, ''Review of Susan Merriam, Seventeenth-Century Flemish Garland Paintings.

They show the influence of Daniel Seghers.<ref name=oxonline/>  An example is the [[:File:Lucas van Uden, Jan Brueghel the Younger, Jan Thomas d’Ypres - Portrait of Nicolaas de Man in the grounds of his country estate in the neighbourhood of Antwerp, surrounded by a garland of flowers.jpg|''Nicolaas de Man in the grounds of his country estate'']] in which the portrait was painted by [[Jan Thomas van Ieperen]] and the landscape by [[Lucas van Uden]] (Christie's London auction of 6 December 2018 lot 26).<ref>[https://www.mutualart.com/Artwork/Portrait-of-Nicolaas-de-Man-in-the-groun/794E3881D4263BC3 Lucas van Uden, Jan Brueghel the Younger, Jan Thomas d’Ypres, ''Portrait of Nicolaas de Man at his country estate in the neighbourhood of Antwerp, surrounded by a garland of flowers''] at Christie's London auction of 6 December 2018 lot 26</ref>
