Matthias Maris
Matthias Maris was a Dutch painter, etcher and lithographer. He initially belonged to the Hague School, like his two brothers, Jacob and Willem, but his later works deviated more and more from that school into a unique style influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites. Most of the paintings by M. Maris are in museums and private collections in Great Britain and the USA. A great admirer of the artist's talent was Vincent van Gogh.
