Blumen in einer Glasvase mit Rose

Flowers in a Glass Vase with a Tulip

Ruysch's flower paintings are full of movement, combining minute detail with a sense of the bouquet as an organic whole. Here, the striped canary grass undulates and the honeysuckle seems to lean towards the viewer. In 1708, Ruysch's exceptional talent won her the appointment of court painter to the Elector Palatine in Düsseldorf.
