Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 18.3 × 14.2 in print therefore arrives as 20.7 × 16.5 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 29.9 × 23.2 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Rachel Ruysch's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 46.5 × 36 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in National Gallery, London, UK. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Rachel Ruysch's "Flowers in a Glass Vase with a Tulip," painted in 1716, is a triumph of both technical mastery and baroque sensibility. The painting is a floral symphony, each bloom playing its part in a complex arrangement that seems almost too perfect for nature. Ruysch was known for her hyper-realistic depictions of still life, and here, she is at the peak of her powers.

The centerpiece is undoubtedly the tulip, its dramatic red and white striations commanding the viewer's attention. It rises above the bouquet like a regal conductor, orchestrating the harmonious chaos below. Around it, a lush array of flowers—roses, peonies, and other delicately rendered blooms—unfurl in various stages of life and decay. Each petal and leaf is meticulously painted, capturing not just their colors, but their textures, and even their imperfections. This is no idealized bouquet; it's as if Ruysch plucked these flowers from the garden that morning, capturing them in their fleeting beauty.

The dark background intensifies the vibrancy of the colors, making the flowers glow with an almost supernatural light. Yet, this is not just about beauty; there is an underlying tension here. Some flowers are beginning to wilt, leaves are curling, and tiny insects are hidden among the petals, reminding us of the inevitable decay that comes with life.

Ruysch's composition is a meditation on the transient nature of beauty, where every detail serves as a reminder that even the most perfect moments are fleeting. The painting stands as a testament to her ability to marry meticulous detail with emotional depth, creating a work that is both scientifically precise and deeply moving.
