  • Over 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.
  • Over kunstenaar

    Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693) was one of Rembrandt's most talented students.

    He came to Amsterdam from Dordrecht at the age of about 15 to apprentice with the great painter.

    Until about 1660, Maes mainly painted genre scenes in the style of Rembrandt, with many light-dark contrasts and warm colors.

    Maes then switched to painting portraits. In this way he came to the same specialty as his teacher in a roundabout way. Mae's portraits were adapted to the fashion of the time: smoother and more detailed and also brighter and lighter in color.

    This approach was successful and Maes became a much sought after and very productive painter of the Baroque state portrait. From 1653 to 1673 Maes lived again in Dordrecht. He then returned to Amsterdam, where he spent the last twenty years of his life
