Nicolaes Maes BiographyBaroque artist Nicolaes Maes (1632-1693), Dutch painter, was born at Dordrecht, and went about 1650 to Amsterdam, where Nicolaes Maes entered Rembrandt's studio. |

Before his return to Dordrecht in 1654 Nicolaes Maes painted a few Rembrandtesque genre paintings, with life-size figures and in a deep glowing scheme of color, like the Reverie at the Ryks Museum in Amsterdam, the Card Players at the National Gallery, and the Children with a Goat Carriage, belonging to Baroness N. de Rothschild. |

| So closely did his early style resemble that of Rembrandt, that the last-named painting, and other canvases in the Leipzig and Budapest galleries and in the collection of Lord Radnor, were or are still ascribed to Rembrandt. In his best period, from 1655 to 1665, Nicolaes Maes devoted himself to domestic genre on a smaller scale, retaining to a great extent the magic of color Nicolaes Maes had learnt from Rembrandt. Only on rare occasions did Nicolaes Maes treat scriptural subjects, as in the earl of Denbigh's Hagar's Departure, which has been ascribed to Rembrandt. His favorite subjects were women spinning, or reading the Bible, or preparing a meal. In 1665 Nicolaes Maes went to Antwerp, where he remained till 1678, in which year he probably returned to Amsterdam. |

Nicolaes Maes devoted himself almost exclusively to portraiture, and abandoned the intimacy and glowing color harmonies of earlier Nicolaes Maes paintings for a careless elegance which suggests the influence of Van Dyck. So great indeed was the change, that it gave rise to the theory of the existence of another Maes, of Brussels. The artist is well represented at the National Gallery by five Nicolaes Maes paintings: The Cradle, The Dutch Housewife, The Idle Servant, The Card Players, and a man's portrait. At Amsterdam, besides the splendid examples to be found at the Ryks Museum, is the Inquisitive Servant of the Six collection. At Buckingham Palace is The Listening Girl (repetitions exist), and at Apsley House Selling Milk and The Listener. Other notable examples are at the Berlin, Brussels, St Petersburg, the Hague, Frankfort, Hanover and Munich galleries. | ||||||
