Adriaen Brouwer Biography
(b ?Oudenaarde, 1605–6; bur Antwerp, 1 Feb 1638). Flemish painter and draughtsman, active also in the northern Netherlands. His date of birth, although unrecorded, can be deduced from Bullaert’s biography, which states that he was 32 years old when he died. He is first documented in March 1625, when he was staying at an inn in Amsterdam run by the painter Barent van Someren (c. 1572–1632). Brouwer is also recorded on 23 July 1626 as a notary’s witness at a sale of pictures in Amsterdam. He must have been living in Haarlem then, as he is mentioned in 1626 in connection with the rhetoricians’ chamber De Wijngaertranken, an amateur literary society whose motto was ‘In Liefde Boven Al’ (Love above all). According to Houbraken, Brouwer was a pupil of Frans Hals in Haarlem, but there is no evidence of Hals’s direct influence in his work. (Brouwer may also have studied with his father (d 1621/2), a designer of tapestry cartoons in Oudenaarde in Flanders.) When exactly Adriaen Brouwer left Haarlem is not known, but in 1631–2 he was enrolled in the Antwerp Guild of St Luke as an independent master and is regularly mentioned in documents in that city in subsequent years, mainly in connection with debts. He was imprisoned in 1633, possibly for tax debt though probably for political reasons. By April 1634 he had been released and was living in the house of the engraver Paulus Pontius. The same year he joined the Antwerp rhetoricians’ chamber known as De Violieren. His only recorded pupil was a Jan Dandoy in 1635, of whom nothing is now known, although Houbraken and de Bie cite Joos van Craesbeeck too, who must have been attached to him unofficially rather than through the Guild; his early work certainly reveals Brouwer’s influence. Brouwer’s burial in the Carmelite church suggests that he died in poverty.
