Adriaen Brouwer (1605?-1638), Flemish painter, born in Oudenaarde (now in Belgium). Brouwer (or Brauwer) was probably a student and associate of Frans Hals and also was influenced by Pieter Brueghel the Younger. Brouwer worked in Dutch cities and in Antwerp. One of the best producers of genre paintings, he is noted for his bright paintings of peasant life, especially raucous tavern scenes. Examples are Smokers (1637?, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and Tavern Interior (Dulwich College, London). In Antwerp he produced fine landscapes, such as Twilight (Louvre), in subdued earth tones. Brouwer, Adriaen van Ostade, and Jan Steen are called the Little Masters of Holland.
