''Portrait of Pieter Bruegel the Elder'' is a 1572 engraving by Dominicus Lampsonius, a Flemish humanist, poet, and artist. The portrait is significant for being one of the few contemporary likenesses of the renowned Northern Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. The engraving is part of a series of portraits of artists from the Low Countries, which was published in ''Pictorum aliquot celebrium Germaniae inferioris effigies'' (Effigies of Some Celebrated Painters of the Low Countries), a collection that aimed to celebrate and document the lives and works of prominent artists from the region.

The portrait features Bruegel in profile, a common pose in portraiture of the period, which suggests a classical influence and lends the subject an air of dignified contemplation. Lampsonius, who was not only an artist but also a scholar, inscribed the portrait with a Latin poem that praises Bruegel's artistry and his ability to capture the essence of human life and the natural world. The poem also reflects the intellectual milieu of the time, which saw a growing appreciation for the visual arts alongside the literary arts.

This engraving is an important historical artifact, as it provides art historians and scholars with a visual reference for Bruegel, whose face was otherwise not well-documented. The image has been widely reproduced in art historical texts and has contributed to the iconography associated with Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The ''Portrait of Pieter Bruegel the Elder'' by Dominicus Lampsonius not only immortalizes the artist but also serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of artists and intellectuals in the 16th-century Low Countries.
