DEEDS CALENDAR: RACHEL RUYSCH celebrates her birthday at the Alte Pinakothek | 26.11.2024-16.03.2025
Probably the most extraordinary and successful Dutch artist celebrates her 360th birthday on 3 June: Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750). Her magnificent, deceptively realistic floral still lifes with exotic plants and fruits, butterflies and insects 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.
