context_page_description: Izaak van Oosten, Isaak van Oosten or Isaac van Oosten was a Flemish Baroque landscape and cabinet painter active in Antwerp.
context_section_description: Little is known about his life and training.  He was born in Antwerp as the son of an art dealer with the same name who had become a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1617.  There is no record of where he received his training or with which master(s) he studied.
  It is believed he painted for his father's shop and therefore did not initially register with the Guild. It wasn't until he was already 39 years old, in 1652, that he became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke; after the Guild had insisted he join and pay his dues. He was active there for only about a decade.
  He died in Antwerp in 1661 without leaving any known offspring.
