Maria Vos (1824 - 1906)

Maria Vos

Maria Vos was a Dutch still-life painter. She studied painting with Petrus Kiers. In 1844, she had a showing at the Exhibition of Living Masters and, in 1847, became an honorary member of the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts" in Amsterdam. She worked there until 1853, when she moved to Oosterbeek and joined a group of painters known as the Hollandse Barbizon. Although Vos is primarily known for still lifes, she also did portraits, landscapes and cityscapes, including a series of watercolors depicting Oosterbeek. She mostly exhibited in the Netherlands and Belgium, but also had a showing at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.
