  • Sobre 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.
  • Sobre artista

    Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693) foi um dos alunos mais talentosos de Rembrandt.

    Ele veio de Dordrecht para Amsterdã com cerca de 15 anos de idade para ser aprendiz do grande pintor.

    Até cerca de 1660, Maes pintou principalmente cenas de gênero no estilo de Rembrandt, com muitos contrastes claro-escuros e cores quentes.

    Maes então passou a pintar retratos. Dessa forma, ele chegou à mesma especialidade de seu professor de forma indireta. Os retratos de Mae foram adaptados à moda da época: mais suaves e detalhados e também com cores mais vivas e claras.

    Esta abordagem foi bem sucedida e Maes tornou-se um pintor muito procurado e muito produtivo do retrato de estado barroco. De 1653 a 1673 Maes viveu novamente em Dordrecht. Ele então retornou para Amsterdã, onde passou os últimos vinte anos de sua vida
