Potter, Paulus Potter! Ein Meisterwerk kehrt zurück

In the organizer's words:

With the support of the Kulturstiftung der Länder, the Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung and the Museumsverein Kassel e.V., the painting "The Watermill" by Paulus Potter has been reacquired. The work belonged to the famous Valerius Röver collection, which Landgrave Wilhelm VIII of Hesse-Kassel was able to acquire en bloc for his picture gallery in 1750 after more than two years of secret negotiations. It was the most brilliant purchase of his extremely fortunate collecting activities. It was considered the most important private collection in the Netherlands in the 18th century and comprised a total of 64 top-class works - including some masterpieces that are still among the highlights of the Old Masters Picture Gallery today.
