Isaac van Ostade (1621 - 1649)

Isaac van Ostade

Isaac van Ostade was a Dutch painter. He was the brother and pupil of Adriaen van Ostade, who influenced his first works. Despite his short lifespan, he left around 100 paintings which deal with motifs similar to those of his brother, with whom they are often confused. They depict battles and rural scenes. After 1640 his pictures show rural life on the streets and inn scenes. The figures now increasingly take center stage in his paintings.
