Henri de Fromantiou: Royal illusions

Read our review

Henri de Fromantiou was born in Maastricht and enjoyed his heyday as the court painter in Potsdam, but his work is widely overlooked today. 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. Click here for the curator’s introduction to the show.
