Note: This is a copy of the 17th Century Adriaen van Ostade (baptized as Adriaen Jansz Hendricx 10 December 1610 – buried 2 May 1685) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of genre works. According to Houbraken, he and his brother were pupils of Frans Hals and like him, spent most of their lives in Haarlem. He thought they were "Lubekkers" by birth, though this has since found to be false. He was the eldest son of Jan Hendricx Ostade, a weaver from the town of Ostade near Eindhoven. Although Adriaen and his brother Isaack were born in Haarlem, they adopted the name "van Ostade" as painters. According to the RKD, he became a pupil in 1627 of the portrait painter Frans Hals, at that time the master of Jan Miense Molenaer. In 1632 he is registered in Utrecht (where, like Jacob...

Artist: Adriaen van Ostade (Dutch, 1610 – 1685), Subject: Rural everyday scene with a spinner in the foreground. Medium: Etching on paper, framed Dimensions: H: 14.75”, W: 16” Adriaen van Ostade (Dutch, 1610 – 1685), a prolific painter, draftsman and etcher of peasant life during Holland’s “Golden Age,” Adriaen van Ostade created hundreds of paintings, some 400 drawings and watercolors and 50 etchings durng his five-decade career. Ostade’s father had moved to Haarlem by 1605 from the Eindhoven area, perhaps from the tiny village of Ostade, which may have given Ostade his surname. The third of eight children, Ostade was baptized at Haarlem’s Saint Bavo cathedral on December 10, 1610. Little is known of his artistic training. Arnold Houbraken’s (1660-1719) early 18th-century biography states that Ostade studied with Frans Hals (ca. 1591-1666) around 1627, and that Adriaen Brouwer (1606-1638) studied with Hals about the same time. No substantiation has been found for this claim. Brouwer stayed in Haarlem until about 1631, and Ostade’s early works do show Brouwer’s influence in its depictions of raucous peasant life. Another suggestion is that Ostade studied with the landscape painter Salomon van...
