Rachel Ruysch, Fruit and Insects

[@toosinbeymen6304]

Masterful discussion of this artist in temporal, scientific and art history context. Well done.

I did not know about her father and the whole scientific context, that gives a lot of new light on those paintings of hers!

I love the way Smarthistory exposes me to artists like this. I've never heard of Ruysch, but love her work! The fruit looks so juicy and luscious - when was the last time I had a frozen grape? 😍 But these look so good I'd have them at whatever temp they are. Her studies weren't in vain.

Ruysch is amazing

[@MilciadesAndrion]

This amazing artist painted about life as flowers. She is an example of hyperrealism art.

The "dust" on the fruit is yeast, that's why grapes ferment.
