In the heyday of the Dutch merchants, regional art experienced a great upswing. Art collectors designed their parlours in modern chic. The walls were covered with the finest woven fabric and the Italian paintings with their large formats, which had been popular until then, had to make way. Small-format paintings in muted colours enjoyed great popularity. Adriaen van Ostade managed like no other to stand out from the artists in the painting cabinets. Motifs from rural life, inn scenes and carefree dancing. His motifs were accompanied with a conscience of esprit, profound wit and sometimes with a touch of naivety. His work includes a large number of oil paintings and etchings, which, despite their size, bear witness to the painter's great skill.
In later years Ostade was increasingly influenced by Rembrandt's painting. Adrien van Ostade took over the first attempts to depict the light and dark from the great model. Capturing scenes that were illuminated by individual light sources and working in the light-dark succeeded the painter in an impressive way. The Flemish painter Adraien Brouer impressed the young Ostade ever since he attended art school. Brouer liked to hold up a mirror to society and often criticism lay in his works. Ostade picked up this thread and shows the state of society. The talent and ability to take a stand brought him recognition, also in material terms.
Art connoisseurs attribute about 800 works to Adrien van Ostade. Economic difficulties led to the destruction of large collections of his works. Today, individual pieces can be found in Dutch museums and adorn the ranks of the great masters. The artist himself found his home in faith and converted to Catholicism. At almost fifty, the artist found happiness in a second marriage and became father of a daughter. When the artist died in 1685, over 200 of his own works were in his possession. However, there were many paintings by other artists that were in the Dutchman's collection and left an impressive artistic spectrum for posterity.
