Description
Isaac van Ostade (baptized June 2, 1621 - buried October 16, 1649) was a Dutch genre and landscape painter.
Van Ostade was born in Haarlem. He began his studies under his brother, Adriaen, with whom he remained until 1641, when he started his own studio. At first he felt the influence of Rembrandt, but soon found a style more suited to his inclinations. He produced paintings in 1641-1642 on the lines of his brother, receiving, however, low fees for this type of painting, in which he could only remain subordinate to the more famous Adriaen. Gradually he abandoned Adriaen's cottage subjects for the fashionable landscapes of Esaias van de Velde and Salomon van Ruysdael.
Isaac's progress in his new course was greatly facilitated by his previous experience as a figure painter; and, although he now chose his subjects from village streets or frozen canals, he gave new life to the scenes by depicting animated groups of people with a refined and searching study of picturesque contrasts. He did not live long enough to bring his art to its greatest perfection. He died on October 16, 1649 in Haarlem, after having painted about 400 pictures.
