Dirk Maas

Dirk Maas (12 September 1659 – 25 December 1717), was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter.

Biography Maas was born and died in Haarlem. According to Houbraken he was first a pupil of Hendrick Mommers, a Haarlem painter of vegetable market scenes, and then took lessons from Nicolaes Berchem, who he probably met through Mommers. Maas became a follower of Berchem's Italianate landscape painting. He was a pupil of Mommers, Berchem, and Huchtenburg who made prints, Italianate landscapes, and staffage for other painters. In 1697 he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura, though he seems to have remained active in Haarlem also.
