(bapt Dordrecht, Jan 1634; bur Amsterdam, 24 Dec
1693).
Dutch painter. The son of the prosperous Dordrecht merchant Gerrit Maes
and his wife Ida Herman Claesdr., Nicolaes Maes learnt to draw from a
‘mediocre master’ (Houbraken) in his native town before he studied
painting with Rembrandt in Amsterdam. His training in Rembrandt’s studio
must have taken place between 1648/50 and 1653. By December 1653 Maes
had settled in Dordrecht and made plans to marry, while a signed and
dated picture of 1653 confirms that the 19-year-old artist had completed
his training and embarked on an independent career. Maes continued to
reside in Dordrecht until 1673.
