本书深入探讨了荷兰黄金时代画家尼古拉斯·梅斯（1634–1693）的生平及其引人入胜的作品。作为伦勃朗最有天赋的学生之一，梅斯初期以其著名老师的风格绘制圣经场景。后来，他创作出了非凡的风俗画，画中主要人物（通常为女性）的细致动作带有一种沉静、近乎庄严的气质。梅斯还描绘了母亲与孩子的场景，或是年长女性祈祷或睡觉的画面；这些作品使他跻身荷兰黄金时代最受欢迎的画家之列。大约从1660年开始，梅斯转而专攻肖像画，其优雅的画风吸引了来自多德雷赫特和阿姆斯特丹的富有且显赫的客户。这本图文并茂的著作是首部用英语全面介绍梅斯作品集的书籍。作者来自伦敦国家美术馆和海牙莫里茨皇家美术馆的策展人，他们凭借广博的知识为专业人士和普通读者带来了丰富的信息。

 

An expert look at the life and captivating work of the Dutch painter Nicolaes Maes, Rembrandt’s most famous pupil

 

This book offers a close look at the art of Dutch Golden Age painter Nicolaes Maes (1634–1693). One of Rembrandt’s most talented students, Maes began by painting biblical scenes in the style of his famous teacher. He later produced extraordinary genre pieces, in which the closely observed actions of the main figure, often a woman, have a hushed, almost monumental character. Maes also depicted mothers with children or older women praying or sleeping; such works have placed him among the most popular painters of the Dutch Golden Age. From around 1660, Maes turned exclusively to portraiture, and his elegant style attracted wealthy and eminent clients from Dordrecht and Amsterdam. This generously illustrated volume is the first in English to cover the full range of his repertoire. The authors—curators from the National Gallery, London, and the Mauritshuis, The Hague—bring extensive knowledge to bear for the benefit of specialists and the general public.
