{"product_id":"rachel-ruysch-nature-into-art","title":"Rachel Ruysch: Nature into Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgainst dark grounds, Rachel Ruysch’s flowers appear both astonishingly vivid and precariously alive. This substantial exhibition catalogue examines her achievement as a floral painter, linking the intricate arrangements to the botanical knowledge and visual culture of the Dutch Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssays consider Ruysch’s career and legacy alongside the work of women artists and scientists, the history of botanical illustration and the variety of plants and creatures in her pictures. An index of depicted flora and fauna adds another route into the paintings. With 130 illustrations across 224 pages, the volume encourages close attention to the balance between careful observation and artistic construction. For lovers of historical still life, it offers an absorbing study of beauty built from transient things, with the depth and context that a major museum publication can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor \/ editor: Anna C.
