The Maas Gallery was founded in 1960 by the late Jeremy Maas. It was then a ‘revivalist’ gallery because it was the first to specialise in what was then a most unfashionable field, that of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Jeremy Maas published Victorian Painters in 1969, a general survey of the subject, and thereafter several other books. Rupert Maas, his son, now owns and runs the Gallery.
