Michael Potier (1564-1631)

Ferguson says the following about Potier: Potier was apparently a Frenchman. For many years he travelled over the whole of Europe, and finally settled in Dortmund. His vanity and reticence are displayed in his works. He made a boast of is knowledgde of the secrets of the art, but could never be brought to give proofs of it. He ended his life, it is said, in the greatest poverty and neglect, early in the seventeenth century.
