German term

Grootesche Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Könige

German to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Name of a painting
Dear colleagues,

I find it difficult to translate "Grootesche'' in the above stated name of the painting "die Grootesche Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Koenige". I know that "die Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Koenige" means "The Adoration of the Magi". What does the word "Grootesche" mean in this context?

Thank you very much in advance!

German term (edited): Grootesche Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Koenige

From the Groote Collection

This seems to be a painting by an anonymopus artist which was in the collection od Freiherr von Groote:

"Bei ihrem ersten Bekanntwerden im Jahr 1904 befanden sich die drei Tafeln im Besitz der niederrheinischen Adelsfamilie der Freiherrn von Groote, deren Name von Friedländer auch zur Taufe des Anonymus verwendet wurde. Im Besitz der Nachkommen der Freiherrn von Groote verblieben die Bilder auch, bis sie nun als großherzige Schenkung von Frau Dagmar Westberg ans Städel Museum gelangen. "

thanks - the "von Groote Adoration" is how it's referred to on the Web sites I saw, so no real credit to me
agree Lingua.Franca : It took me nine minutes longer than it took you to find the right reference link :-)
