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 18.5 × 15.7 in print therefore arrives as 20.9 × 18.1 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 28 × 23.8 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 47 × 40 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 Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Rachel Ruysch's "A Forest Floor Still Life of Flowers" is a masterclass in the art of evoking wonder from the most unassuming of subjects. This painting, though undated, serves as a luminous testament to Ruysch's unparalleled skill in the Dutch Golden Age of still life. What we see here is not merely a collection of flowers but a vivid, almost surreal spectacle that captures the wild, untamed beauty of nature as it thrives in its own hidden corner of the forest.

The composition is dense yet precise, with every petal and leaf rendered in exquisite detail. The eye is immediately drawn to the strikingly exotic, fiery orange flowers that dominate the center of the scene, their jagged petals flaring out like tongues of flame. They are surrounded by an array of other blooms—delicate whites, soft pinks, and golden yellows—each vying for attention yet perfectly harmonizing within the whole.

This is not a scene of orderly cultivation but of nature reclaiming its space, where the flowers grow haphazardly, spilling over rocks and twisting around each other in a dance of life and decay. The muted, dark background accentuates the vibrancy of the flowers, making them appear almost luminous, as if they were glowing from within.

Ruysch’s genius lies in her ability to imbue this scene with a sense of dynamic tension—between life and death, light and shadow, order and chaos. The painting is not just a feast for the eyes but a reminder of the sublime beauty that exists in the natural world, even in the most overlooked places.
