Nicolaes Maes: Dutch Master of the Golden Age 

Admission free 

Location: Ground Floor Galleries 

Starting his career as one of Rembrandt’s most talented pupils, this exhibition – the first in the UK devoted to Maes – charts the artist’s rise to fame. Through nearly 50 paintings and drawings, it follows Maes’s move away from paintings of historical and biblical scenes, where Rembrandt’s influence is most clear, to the scenes of everyday life and portraits that made him one of the most sought-after artists of his time. 

Exhibition organised by the National Gallery, London and the Mauritshuis, The Hague
