Description: | Signed: yes Description: Rachel Ruysch was one of the most successful Dutch artist of her day and the most important eighteenth-century flower painter after Jan van Huysum. She began by studying under the still-life painter Willem van Aelst and soon excelled in her ability to depict richly coloured and ornate bouquets in meticulous detail. The realism of her floral bouquets belies the fact that they could only exist in the artist's imagination as not all the flowers were in bloom at the same time. Her works were therefore constructed from numerous separate studies. | Subjects: | still life (flowers); animal (beetles and snail) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ruysch, Rachel (Dutch painter, 1664-1750) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8682... | Go to resource |
