  • A proposito di opere d'arte
    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.
  • A proposito di opere artista

    Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693) fu uno degli studenti più talentuosi di Rembrandt.

    Arrivò ad Amsterdam da Dordrecht all'età di circa 15 anni per diventare apprendista presso il grande pittore.

    Fino al 1660 circa Maes dipinse principalmente scene di genere nello stile di Rembrandt, con molti contrasti chiaro-scuro e colori caldi.

    Maes passò poi alla pittura di ritratti. In questo modo arrivò in modo indiretto alla stessa specialità del suo maestro. I ritratti di Mae furono adattati alla moda dell'epoca: più uniformi e dettagliati e anche di colore più luminoso e chiaro.

    Questo approccio ebbe successo e Maes divenne un pittore molto ricercato e molto produttivo del ritratto di stato barocco. Dal 1653 al 1673 Maes visse nuovamente a Dordrecht. Tornò poi ad Amsterdam, dove trascorse gli ultimi vent'anni della sua vita
