Nicolaes Maes

Nicolaes Maes ( * January 1634 in Dordrecht; † before December 24, 1693 ( buried ) in Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter.

He went in 1650 to Amsterdam, where he worked in Rembrandt van Rijn's studio. Maes stayed at his pictures to the type and color scheme, as he had learned it from his master Rembrandt.

In the years 1653-1665 he worked in Dordrecht and initially created there life-size works that directly emulated the style of Rembrandt and his imitated perfectly. From 1655 he created mainly small paintings of domestic scenes.

In 1665 he went to Antwerp, where he remained until 1678 and then went back to Amsterdam. Later, the influence of Flemish masters such as Van Dyck had an impact in his paintings. The influence of Van Dyck is in his portraits, which emerged after 1660 in Dordrecht, seen; at this time is a radical style change to notice towards a lighter, more elegant style.

Pictures of Maes are now exhibited in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, St Petersburg and other major museums.
