Nicolaas Liemaker, or de Liemaker, de Liemaeckere, surnamed Roose, or Nicolaes Roose, a Flemish historical painter, was born at Ghent in 1601.
Background
He was the son of Jacob De Liemaker, a painter upon glass, and is said by Descamps to have been a pupil of Markus Geeraerts the younger, but as the latter joined his father in London in 1580, it is most likely that he studied under Otto van Veen at Antwerp.
Career
His best picture is the "Consecration of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra," which is above the high altar of the church of Saint Nicholas at Ghent.
