Mystical/fairytale-like figures, imposing landscapes and mysterious scenes characterise the work of the 19th century painter Matthijs Maris (1839-1917). Matthijs, the middle brother of the artistic Maris brothers, worked mainly in Paris and London. His eccentric lifestyle and idiosyncratic paintings provided inspiration to young artists, including Vincent van Gogh. Although his work was internationally renowned and commanded record breaking prices, he eventually led a secluded life in his studio.
