Excerpt (in translation): Petrus Wolfs (1902-1982) was an Eijsden artist who left behind a beautiful collection of paintings. Eijsden can be found in many of his works. It is therefore not surprising that a foundation is named after him. Petrus Wolfs Foundation, since 2014 called the 'Art Foundation Petrus Wolfs', was founded in 1986. The aim of the foundation is to organize exhibitions, art auctions and cultural trips. Attention is regularly paid to Petrus Wolfs in the form of exhibited works, as well as the sale of postcards with images of his paintings.
