Maurits Frederik Hendrik de Haas
(1832 - 1895)

 

Maurits Frederik Hendrik de Haas was a Dutch-American marine painter. Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, he studied art at the Rotterdam Academy and at The Hague, under Johannes Bosboom and Louis Meyer, and in 1851-1852 in London, following the English watercolourists of the day. In 1857 he received an artist's commission in the Dutch Navy, but in 1859, under the patronage of August Belmont, who had recently been minister of the United States at The Hague, he resigned and moved to New York City.
