OSTADE, ADRIAAN VAN, born in
Haarlem, baptized
Dec. 10,
1610, died
there, April 27,
1685. Dutch
school; genre
painter, pupil
of Frans Hals,
and after 1640
developed
under Rembrandt's
influence. His family, which came
from South Brabant, took the name of
Ostade from a village, now called Ostedt,
in the environs of Eindhoven, whence his
father, a weaver, removed to Haarlem about
1605. Adriaan at a very early age became
the favourite pupil of Frans Hals. He married
twice and died a widower. The story
of his flight to Amsterdam in 1662 and his
death there has no foundation. He had
many pupils, one of whom was the famous
Jan Steen. Adriaan was not only an inimitable
painter of rustic scenes, but also
an excellent etcher. Works: A Smoker,
