Her magnificent, deceptively realistic floral still lifes with plants and fruit, butterflies and insects from the most diverse regions of the world were already considered sought-after and expensive collector's items during her lifetime. Demand was so great that the Amsterdam painter could only afford to produce a few pieces 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 winner and mother of ten children, she was an exceptional figure of her time. The Alte Pinakothek is dedicating the world's first major monographic exhibition to her. Discover the wondrous world of Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) between art and science, perfected fine painting and artistic freedom amidst illustrious patrons in Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Florence.
