He renounced the brewery, in which he did not succeed, and joined the Painters' Guild, Haarlem; but his position as a tavern-keeper is reflected in his pictures, of which eating and drinking, card-playing, etc., are frequently the motifs. His family relations were not conducive to higher principles and tastes.
The painter here reached his high-water mark, showed the very best he could produce in sincere, restrained art. Dutch School 1580-04-1666 Pupil of Karel Van Mander Franz Hals belonged to a family which for two hundred years had been highly respected in Haarlem in the Netherlands.
At the time when William of Orange tried to relieve the hard-pressed city of Haarlem, he could with the greatest difficulty muster three or four thousand men for the purpose. The army of the Netherlands was now 22,000 strong, of whom 2000 were cavalry. It was well disciplined, well equipped, and regularly paid, and was soon to prove that the pains bestowed upon it had not been thrown away.
Adrian van Ostade was born at Haarlem in 1610 and died in his native town in 1685.

"Ah, a feast," said Cornelius, in the sad tone of indifference of a man to whom no joy remains in this world.

"It is, indeed, a feast in which flowers play a principal part."
Burgomaster Van Swieten's wife had heard from her own husband, that the Englishmen, without making any resistance, had surrendered the beautiful new fort of Valkenburg and taken to their heels, at the mere sight of the Spaniards. The enemy had marched out from Haarlem through the downs above Nordwyk, and it would have been an easy matter for the Britons to hold the strong position.
Grotius and Hoogerbeets were confined in the castle of Louvestein. Moersbergen, a leading patriot of Utrecht, De Haan, pensionary of Haarlem, and Uitenbogaard, the chosen confidant of Maurice, but the friend of Barneveldt, were next accused and sentenced to imprisonment or banishment. And thus Arminianism, deprived of its chiefs, was for the time completely stifled.
