(*) Zanddijk is a hamlet in the municipality of Veere, Zeeland.
The 'double talent' Nauta was not only a painter but also a stained glass artist. As a painter he made many portraits during his life; the most famous of these are the State Portrait of Juliana Regina from 1948 and the portrait of Winston Churchill from 1955. We also know his cityscapes of Amsterdam. As a stained glass artist Nauta used coloured glass which he then painted with the aim of finding the proximity of medieval cathedrals. The artist was successful as a stained glass artist and received numerous commissions including: the Grote Kerk in The Hague, the NCRV building in Hilversum, the Dutch church in London and the eighteen windows of St. Andrew Roxbourne in Harrow (London region).
Max Nauta's work is in the collections of the Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam, the Royal House, Het Loo Palace, Apeldoorn, the City of Amsterdam and the House of Representatives building in The Hague.
