Adriaen van de Venne belongs to the record of art as a figure whose work outlasted the taste that first received it.
The record lists Adriaen van de Venne as painter from the Northern Netherlands (1589-1662).
Adriaen van de Venne was born at Delft in 1589. His recorded nationality is Netherlands.
This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as painter, etcher and visual artist.
His recorded movement is baroque.
Among his best-known works are Satire on Dutch politics around 1619, Prince Maurits accompanied by his two brothers, Frederick V, Elector of the Palatinate, and some counts of Nassau on horseback and Stadtholder Prince Maurice Lying in State. Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
That the work was made in Netherlands shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Adriaen van de Venne died in 1662, aged 73. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
