In the life of Adriaen van Ostade
The whole life1634–1684 · Workplace
Haarlem
c. 1638 – 1640
Stylistic turning point under Rembrandt's influence
Around 1638 or 1640 the influence of Rembrandt abruptly changed Ostade's style: he painted "The Annunciation to the Shepherds" (Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, Brunswick), with the principal groups dramatically lit by rays breaking through a gloomy sky.
1640
Death of his first wife
The artist's wife died in 1640, after which Adriaen married a second time.
