About the Acquisition

It was the executor who notified the administration that the gentleman of private means Johann Georg Cronhardt (d. 1904) had bequeathed them this painting. Cronhardt had inherited the work from Georg Seufferheld (1813–1874), whose will in 1874 had also revealed that a noteworthy oeuvre of Dutch Baroque painting should be left to the Städel: Aert van der Neer’s wonderful painting of the night.
