The very first retrospective of Henri de Fromantiou. The museum will be showing a wide selection of paintings by this 17th-century painter of still lifes, who was born in Maastricht and enjoyed his heyday as the court painter in Potsdam. The exhibition highlights not only Henri de Fromantiou's oeuvre, but also his position as court painter, art dealer and restorer in the service of Frederik Willem I, Elector of Brandenburg. De Fromantiou's talent allowed him to portray a royal world in prestigious still lifes of game and of luxury products like flowers and fruit.
