Adam van Breen (1585 - 1640), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
He was born in Amsterdam and specialized in winter landscapes. He became a member of the Hague Guild of St. Luke in 1612 and besides the Hague is known to have worked in Amsterdam and Oslo.He died in Norway.
Little is known about Van Breen’s origins or his artistic training. His small surviving oeuvre consists mostly of winter landscapes, similar to those painted by Avercamp. Both artists may have studied in Amsterdam with David Vinckboons (1576–1633). Van Breen later moved to The Hague, where he married before he returned to Amsterdam. Eventually, he immigrated to Norway where he worked for King Christian IV. This beautifully executed and topographically interesting painting is one of his earliest known works and the earliest Dutch seventeenth-century painting in the Gallery’s collection.
