Nicolaes de Vree (1645–1702) was aDutch Golden Age painter.
De Vree was born inAmsterdam. According to Houbraken, he painted landscapes, flowers, thistles, and herbs.[1] Houbraken had a hard time finding information about his character, though there were many who were willing to discuss his works. This was because he was not a very social man, and after forming a friendship withJan Luyken, he became, like Luyken, a follower ofBehmenism, based on the writing of theGerman mysticJakob Böhme.[1]
He was a pupil ofJan Wijnants and he is known for his landscapes.[2] In 1696 he moved to Alkmaar and in 1697 he became a member of the AlkmaarGuild of Saint Luke.[2] He died inAlkmaar.
He was one of the painters who worked on the album of garden paintings forAgnes Block.[3]
