Breyghel, originally from Cologne, trained as a printer in Antwerp in the early 17th century, becoming a freeman of the city and a master of the Guild of Saint Luke in 1624. In 1625 he set up shop in Bruges, his relocation expenses reimbursed by the city council. [1] Much of his work was printing official publications for the city, but by 1637 he was also publishing the city's first newspaper, Nieuwe Tydinghen uyt verscheyde ghewesten. [1] This was printed weekly, usually on Tuesdays. [1] Between 1640 and 1658 he repeatedly held office in the booksellers' guild. [1] He died on 17 April 1669.
