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 21.7 × 17.6 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 20 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 33.7 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 78 × 64 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 Boston Museum of Fine Arts, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Rachel Ruysch’s "Still Life with Flowers" (1709) is a resplendent explosion of nature’s finest wonders, meticulously arranged in a display of both beauty and controlled chaos. What strikes you first is the intensity of the contrast: the delicate, almost translucent petals of the flowers against the somber, nearly black background. It’s as if the bouquet is bursting forth from a void, demanding attention with its sheer vibrancy.

Ruysch, a master of the Dutch Golden Age, imbues each bloom with a life of its own. The tulips, roses, and peonies are rendered with a precision that borders on the divine, each petal shimmering with an inner glow, a testament to her unrivaled understanding of light. The flowers don’t just sit in the vase; they cascade out of it, twisting and turning as if caught in a gentle breeze, their stems curling in an elegant dance.

Yet, there’s more to this scene than mere beauty. Ruysch was acutely aware of the fleeting nature of life, and this painting is no exception. The wilting leaves, the subtle imperfections in the petals, and the drooping flowers hint at the inevitable decay that follows such splendor. It's a reminder that even the most exquisite moments are transient, captured here with breathtaking clarity.

Ruysch’s work is not just a still life; it’s a celebration of nature’s fragility, rendered with a depth and sensitivity that few could match. The painting stands as a testament to her genius, a vivid snapshot of life in all its fleeting glory.
