Often placed on stone ledges and against dark backgrounds, her sumptuous bouquets seem to spill over with all manner of colorful flowers and plants, as bees and butterflies flit to and from their petals. Ruysch's star faded, but late 20th- and early 21st-century interest in women artists has returned her to the forefront of the art historical canon. Nature into Art introduces today's audiences to Ruysch's achievements while also exploring the pioneering role of women artists and scientists in the Dutch Republic in the 17th and 18th centuries. Brilliantly illustrated with detailed reproductions of Ruysch's intricate paintings, the essays touch upon Ruysch's career and her immediate legacy while also widening their scope to consider the role of botany in the early modern era and the storied tradition of botanical illustration"--
