"Still Life with Flowers," Rachel Ruysch, 18th century.

I've talked about Ruysch before, but to recap quickly, she was the best-documented woman painter of her time, with an enormously successful career, getting commissions from many wealthy and influential clients. Poets wrote elegies in honor of her death in 1750, and despite the fact that she specialized in florals, her work was highly praised and fetched high prices after her passing; she even outsold Rembrandt!

The daughter of a scientist and professor of botany, Ruysch depicted plants and flowers with meticulous detail, developing her own style that straddled the line between Baroque and Rococo. Even today, she is regarded as one of the most talented still life artists of all time, bar none.

Happy Flower Friday!

From the Hallwyl Museum, Stockholm.

A Baroque painting of a bouquet of flowers, on a marble tabletop; they sit in a vase or urn that is not visible. The flowers, painstakingly done in great detail, include tulips, carnations, marigolds, dandelions in the puff stage, and others. This is evidently a work of fantasy as the flowers are not ones that would be in bloom at the same time.
