toetie discovered 9 months ago- The Wolf-hound ca. 1650 Paulus Potter Guggenheim Hermitage Museum b. 1625, Enkhuizen, The Netherlands; d. 1654, Amsterdam Paulus Potter was born in 1625 in the town of Enkhuizen on IJsselmeer, a lake in the northern Netherlands. Both his father and his mother's brother were painters, and it was possibly because of this early exposure to the medium that Potter's first dated work is from 1640 Potter was particularly skilled at depicting fauna and despite his short life was an innovative and influential artist. His keen sensitivity to the natural world is most notable in his detailed animal portraits in which animals are the sole subject rather than the backdrop of a work.
