Double P... Paulus Potter Paulus Potter (baptised on November 20, 1625 in Enkhuizen – buried on January 17, 1654 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter, specialized in animals in landscapes, usually with a low point of view. Before Potter died of tuberculosis, 28-years old, he succeeded in producing about a hundred paintings, working continuously. His most famous painting is The Bull (circa 1647), that is now in Mauritshuis in The Hague, composed after drawings Potter made in nature. Even though this painting was critized, it was greatly admired during the 19th century as an early example of Romanticism. Above the door hangs a portrait of Paulus Potter, painted in 1654 by the less famous Bartholomeus van der Helst.
