Maes
Nicolaes Maes
1634-1693
Born in Dordrecht in 1634, Maes died in Amsterdam in 1693. Maes was in Rembrandt's studio toward the middle of the century and may also have been active in other Amsterdam ateliers, but the early works are distinctly Rembrandtesque. It is also possible he worked in Delft, since aspects of Carel Fabritius's art are evident in Maes's first surviving dated paintings of genre subjects executed upon his return to Dordrecht in 1654-55. According to Houbraken, Maes went to visit Jacob Jordaens in Antwerp in 1665, resulting in a great change in the Dutch artist's style. From the 1660s onward Maes began to concentrate on portraiture. He remained in Antwerp until 1678 and then returned to Amsterdam.
