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.
