Adriana Johanna Haanen was born in Oosterhout in 1814.[1] She was the youngest child of the papercutter Casparis Haanen and the sister of the painters George Gillis Haanen, Elisabeth Alida Haanen, and Remigius Adrianus Haanen.[2] [3] Haanen and all of her siblings were educated in art by their father, but Adriana was the only one to achieve success in Holland.[3] She is the aunt of the painter Cecil van Haanen, and taught painters Anna Abrahams and Christina Alida Blijdenstein.[2]
Haanen is known for her paintings of fruit and flowers. In 1845, she became an honorary member of the Royal Academy in Amsterdam. In 1862, she was awarded a gold medal by the city of Amsterdam for a painting she had submitted to the annual Levende Meesters exhibition.[3] Haanen regularly submitted her works to the Levende Meesters exhibition and others in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Bremen and Paris.[4]
Haanen had a very close friendship with fellow artist Maria Vos. Haanen moved from Amsterdam to Oosterbeek in 1853, where she shared a house with Vos in an artists' colony. Haanen put high price tag on her works, and the sale of her works became very lucrative. In 1870, Haanen and Vos built a large house together in Oosterbeek (called "Villa Grada"), where they continued to live together.[5]
Haanen died in Oosterbeek in 1895.[2]
