Dutch school ; genre painter, pupil of Frans Hals, and after 1640 developed under Rem- brandt'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 mar- ried 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 in- imitable painter of rustic scenes, but also
an excellent etcher. Works : A Smoker,
