Adriaen van Ostade, master of the Dutch genre

Influenced by direct observation and a great mastery of chiaroscuro, he belongs to a generation of artists who renewed the genre by bringing a concrete and often humorous humanity. His works, both narrative and carefully composed, marked the representation of the popular classes in Dutch art. This historical context gives this painting Ébouillanter le cochon a documentary and aesthetic value appreciated by collectors and art history enthusiasts.
