Still Life with Flowers on a Marble Tabletop — Rachel Ruysch

Rachel Ruysch. Painted 1716.

This bouquet features more than ten species of flowers and teems with insects. As the blossoms flower at different times, it would be rather difficult to assemble such a bouquet in real life. Ruysch was well aware of this: her extensive study of live and prepared flowers allowed her to paint these vibrant bouquets with stunning precision. During her lifetime, she was one of the most celebrated painters of floral still lifes in Europe.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in 18th Century, Main building, Citizens and regents.
