Jan Brueghel
Allegory of the Elements: "The Earth"

Jan Brueghel was part of the famous flamish family named Brueghel.
In fact I don't know if this picture was painted by Jan B. the Elder or Younger.
Jan Brueghel the Younger painted Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Order of the Jesuits

the painting looks amazingly like the allegory of the Earth.
