Maris, Jacob Henricusヤコブ・マリス

Maris's paternal grandfather was a soldier from Bohemia called Wenzel Maresch, who settled in The Hague after the Napoleonic wars. He made his home in Holland under the name of Marris or Maris, and it was the latter form that his descendants adopted. His son was a printer in The Hague and had to work hard to bring up his five children - three brothers who were painters and two daughters. Comment on works: Landscapes.
