Pieter Bruegel the Elder was the most significant artist of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting. He is mostly known for landscapes and peasant scenes of his native Brabant. The airline selected Bruegel for its 6th Belgian Icon as 2019 marked the 450th anniversary of his death. Subjects from ten of his paintings were merged by Jos De Gruyter et Harald Thys, two Belgian contemporary artists, and spread over the two sides of the fuselage.
The overhead bins in the cabin featured paintings by Bruegel; books detailing his work were available onboard to read.
