Paulus Potter was a Dutch painter who lived between 1625 and 1654. He is best known for his paintings of animals, especially cows, often depicted in pastoral landscapes. Potter was born into a family of artists and began his career as a painter at an early age. He studied with his father, Pieter Potter, and later with the painter Jacob de Wet. Potter's work was in great demand during his lifetime and he received commissions from wealthy patrons throughout the Netherlands. Despite his short career, Potter is considered one of the most important animal painters of the Dutch Golden Age. His paintings continue to be admired for their realism, attention to detail and pastoral charm.

Cows of History. Extraordinarily beautiful and picturesque are the long-horned, snow white cows of the Tuscan valleys in Italy. Their horns measure about twenty inches across and their silky tails often sweep the ground. Since the war they are becoming very scarce owing to lack of fodder, and land holders are haunted by mythological tales of the Middle Ages when they disappeared altogether. Invaders from the North brought this breed of cattle into Italy and they were so admired by the early Romans that they each year offered up the whitest and most beautiful one as a sacrifice, gilding its horns and garlanding them with rare flowers. The Italian government presented this pair to the Agricultural Colony of the Junior Red Cross of America orphanage and vocational school where several hundred war orphans are learning scientific farming and undergoing training for their future independence
