Rachel Ruysch - Nature Into Art
Published on January 24, 2025
Rachel Ruysch (1664–1750) painted magnificent, deceptively realistic floral still lifes with plants and fruits, butterflies and insects from the most diverse regions of the world. Her work became sought-after and expensive collector's items during her lifetime. Demand was so great that the Amsterdam painter could afford to produce merely a few works a year. As the daughter of the renowned professor of anatomy and botany, Frederik Ruysch, the first female member of the Confrerie Pictura, court painter in Düsseldorf, lottery game winner and the mother of ten children, she was an exceptional figure in her time.
The exhibition runs until March 16, 2025 at the Alte Pinakothek, 27 Barer Str., Munich, Germany.
