PAULUS PIETERSZ. POTTER
Paulus Potter Biography
(b Enkhuizen, bapt 20 Nov 1625; bur Amsterdam, 17 Jan 1654). Son of (1) Pieter Potter. He was related through his mother, Aechtie Pouwels (d 1636), to the wealthy and powerful von Egmont and Semeyns families, who held important offices in Enkhuizen and at the court in The Hague. He worked in his father’s studio in Amsterdam during the 1630s and, like him, painted history subjects that show the strong influence of Claes Moeyaert, with whom Paulus may also have studied. In the painting Abraham Returning from Canaan (1642; Boston, priv. col., see Romanov, 1934, fig. 1) he adapted the landscape setting from an etching by Moses van Uyttenbroeck (B . 56) and the figures from works by Moeyaert from over ten years earlier. Significantly, however, he redistributed the numerous animals and figures that Moeyaert had aligned evenly across the frontal plane; Potter placed them to one side, permitting a view into the deep distance where other animals can be seen. Potter followed his father more than Moeyaert in searching for ways to integrate his figures with the landscape, suggesting space by carefully positioning the forms of the figures.
