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