  • Über Kunstwerk
    Tracing the exact provenance of the portrait is complex. It was spotted in an old photograph of one of the rooms of the 'Ter Meeren' castle in Zaventem, owned by the estate of Auguste Braun, a lawyer at the Belgian Court of Cassation. It remains uncertain whether the portrait was part of Mr. Braun's family property or if he acquired it. It is conceivable that it was purchased with the castle, which has been owned by noble families for centuries.The gentleman's long curly locks cascade over his red coat, adding to his distinguished appearance. His slightly inclined pose adds depth to the composition, breaking away from the stiff Dutch portraits of the early 17th century. The style and pictorial quality suggest that the portrait was executed by Nicolaes Maes (Dordrecht, 1634-Amsterdam, 1693) and his workshop. From the late 1650s, Maes primarily focused on portraits, depicting his clients in idealized settings evoking high society, as illustrated in this painting.
  • Über Künstler

    Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693) war einer der talentiertesten Schüler Rembrandts.

    Er kam im Alter von etwa 15 Jahren von Dordrecht nach Amsterdam, um bei dem großen Maler in die Lehre zu gehen.

    Bis etwa 1660 malte Maes hauptsächlich Genreszenen im Stil Rembrandts, mit vielen Hell-Dunkel-Kontrasten und warmen Farben.

    Maes wechselte dann zur Porträtmalerei. So kam er auf Umwegen zum gleichen Fachgebiet wie sein Lehrer. Maes Porträts wurden an die Mode der Zeit angepasst: glatter und detaillierter und auch leuchtender und heller in der Farbe.

    Dieser Ansatz hatte Erfolg und Maes wurde zu einem gefragten und sehr produktiven Maler des barocken Staatsporträts. Von 1653 bis 1673 lebte Maes erneut in Dordrecht. Anschließend kehrte er nach Amsterdam zurück, wo er die letzten zwanzig Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte
