- Martin Zaagmolen
-
Martin Zaagmolen or Martinus Saeghmolen (born in Oldenburg - buried 1 November 1669, Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter.
Houbraken notices him as a painter of history, and describes a picture of the Last Judgment by him,[1] in which were introduced a great number of figures, very incorrectly drawn, and feebly coloured. Saeghmolen operated from 1640 to 1660. He was the master of Jan Luyken, and Michiel van Musscher; so, if he was not a good painter himself, he formed good scholars.
