BROUWER, or BRAUWES, ADRIAN (1608-1640)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 657 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROUWER, or BRAUWES, ADRIAN (1608-1640) , Dutch painter, was born at Haarlem, of very humble parents, who bound him apprentice to the painter Frans
Hals
 .
Brouwer
  had an admirable eye for colour, and much spirit in
design
 ; and these gifts his master appears to have turned to his-own profit, while his
pupil
  was half starved. As the result of this ungenerous
treatment,
Brouwer
  was frequently brought into low
company
  and dissipated scenes, which he delineated with
great
  spirit and vivid colouring in his pictures. The unfortunate artist died in a
hospital
 
    See Also:
at Antwerp at the early age of thirty-two, consequently his works are few and rarely met with. The largest collection of his masterpieces is in the Pinakothek at
Munich
 .
