Maria de Grebber (1602, Haarlem – 1680, Enkhuizen), was a Dutch Golden Age painter. Grebber was talented at depicting buildings and perspective.{{in lang|nl}} [http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/houb005groo01_01/houb005groo01_01_0239.htm Maria de Grebber in Frans Pietersz de Grebber Biography] in De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen (1718) by Arnold Houbraken, courtesy of the Digital library for Dutch literature
Maria worked in her family workshop and thus did not need professional qualifications to obtain sales.
Life and career
File:Maria de Grebber - portrait of Augustinus de Wolff.jpg
Maria de Grebber was the daughter of the painter Frans Pietersz de Grebber and the sister of Pieter de Grebber. She belonged to the ancient De Grebber family originally from Waterland. Their father ran a respected workshop in Haarlem in the 1620s, where he taught Judith Leyster and his own children how to paint.[https://rkd.nl/en/explore/artists/33499 Frans Pietersz de Grebber] in the RKD
Maria was not the only female painter in Haarlem. The first woman registered in the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke was Sara van Baalbergen in 1631, and Leyster was a member by 1633. Both women were not members of an established artist family in Haarlem, the way Maria was.
She was seven years older than Leyster and, like Leyster and Baalbergen, married an artist, the faience baker Wouter Coenraetsz de Wolff. Her daughter Isabelle de Wolff later married the painter Gabriel Metsu.[https://rkd.nl/en/explore/artists/33500 Maria de Grebber] in the RKD
