The Blue Cloak, some say this 1558 engraving with proverbs written above the figures, formed the basis for Breughel's Netherlandish Proverbs

Frans Hogenberg (1535 – 1590) was a Flemish and German painter, engraver, and mapmaker.

Hogenberg was born in Mechelen as the son of Nicolaas Hogenberg.[1] In 1568 he was banned from Antwerp by the Duke of Alva and travelled to London, where he stayed a few years before emigrating to Cologne.[1] He is known for portraits and topographical views as well as historical allegories. He also produced scenes of contemporary historical events.

Hogenberg died in Cologne.
