Ostade, Adriaen van
(redirected from Adriaen van Ostade)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Ostade, Adriaen van (1610–1685)

Dutch painter and etcher. A pupil of Frans Hals, he specialized in peasant, village, and alehouse scenes. His Boors Making Merry (Dulwich Gallery, London) is a good example. He made etchings and painted some delicate watercolours.

He was very versatile, painting everything except marine pieces, but he is best known for scenes of peasants carousing or brawling, painted in a manner similar to Adriaen Brouwer (who was a fellow student under Hals). His best-known pupil was Jan Steen.
