Maria van Oosterwyck, also spelled Oosterwijck (1630–1693, Dutch)

Maria was a Dutch Golden Age painter, specializing in richly detailed flower paintings and other still lifes. The daughter of a clergyman, Maria is thought to have studied with Jan Davidsz de Heem and her compositions certainly betray his influence. She never married, although Houbraken claimed that she was courted by her fellow artist Willem van Aelst. Her paintings were much admired by her contemporaries and she received considerable patronage from various European monarchs including Louis XIV, Emperor Leopold I and Stadholder-King William III.

OK SO ASWELL AS THE BALLROOM DRESS BRAINROT IM CURRENTLY OBSESSED W/ PAINTINGS BY MARIA VAN OOSTERWIJCK OH MY FUCK. I KINDA TRIED TO FIGURE OUT THE MEANING BUT I MAY BE HORRIBLY WRONG

WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE AND SELF HARM, BUT NOT AN IN DEPTH EXPLANATION.

[ID: a painted image of a table with numerous assorted items on it. there is a written note, quill, ink pot and an orange butterfly in the center of the image. beside those items, to the left is a human skull and a vase of pink, white and red roses. there is a yellow flower and a blue flower in the mix. there is also a bottle of an opaque red liquid. on the right side is a globe with people, animals, letters and other miscellaneous items replacing the countries. an hourglass, two books and a bag. there is a half eaten cob of corn and a single peice of wheat. the painting is "vanitas-still life" by maria van oosterwijck. /END ID.]

ok so i think that this all symbolises death. the skull and the bottle of red liquid might be from a human body. not sure. maybe the butterfly species has smth to do w/ death?? maybe the crowded table represents the 7 minutes of memories???? the note might be the letters that were sent, the red liquid symbolising a rough time in life like going through smth that causes self harm?? maybe that was linked to the cause of death??? like. did they die the same way casper (from the other side phone calls) died??? like. did they commit?? idk. the fact that there arent even countries on the globe. there are animals, notes, people and alot of other stuff. maybe that symbolises the "small world" saying. there is also corn which i didnt see!!!!!!!!!!!! not sure what thats abt tho. this is such a pretty painting tho and i love it more than anything. im never going to shut up about it.

ماريا فان أوستيرويك: فنانة هولندية من العصر الذهبي، تدربت على يد الفنان جان ديفيدزسون دي هيم وتحت إشرافه حتى صقلت مهارتها حتى استق��ت بعملها الخاص بعد فترة التدريب. إنتقلت إلى أمستردام، وافتتحت مرسمها مقابلا لمرسم فنان الطبيعة الصامتة ويليم فان اليست. إنغمست أوستيرويك في الدوائر الإجتماعية لفناني الطبيعة الصامتة، فاستطاعت بذكائها الترويج لأعمالها حتى حصلت على شخصيات بارزة مثل لويس الرابع عشر ملك فرنسا، والإمبراطور الروماني ليوبولد الأول، ووليام الثالث ملك إنجلترا.

بالرغم من نجاحها المهني إلا أنها حرمت من الإنتساب لنقابة الفنانين لكونها إمرأة. ورغم ذلك، فإن أعمالها تحمل أهمية تاريخية كبيرة كونها واحدة من النساء القلائل اللاتي امتهنَّ الرسم واعترف بهن كفنانات محترفات في القرن السابع عشر.

هذه اللوحة بورودها الغضة وألوانها الزاهية مع خلفيتها الداكنة تجسد تفرد أعمال أوستيرويك. إظهار إيمانها العميق أمر مهم بالنسبة لها، فنجدها رمزت إليه برموز مختلفة في جميع أعمالها. تختار أوستيرويك الألوان بعناية فالأبيض يرمز للبراءة، والأحمر للشهادة، وتكرار الفراشات ترمز لبعث المسيح.

Women in art - history series (The Dutch 17th century)

Rachel Ruysch

Specialized in painting flowers for almost seventy years. She learned how to accurately record nature, flowers, and woodlands helping to draw specimens. She was an apprentice painter at fifteen and painted for clients by age eighteen.

Maria van Oosterwijck

Was born into an extended family of artists. She went to Antwerp to study with one of the well-known flower artists. Van Oosterwijck lived in many Dutch cities, successfully selling her work. She never married and was able to support herself as a painter. Van Oosterwijck painted floral still life using real flowers. 

Clara Peeters

Little is known about her early life as records for some of the times are missing or confusing because Peeters was a common last name. Peeter's first recognized works were small oil paintings completed in 1608. The work was met with great details, indicating an experienced painter probably trained Peeters, although no documentation exists about her training and education. By 1612, she demonstrated her talent and created several highly rendered still life with elaborately decorated objects. She signed thirty-one works with another seventy-six paintings believed to be hers without proper documentation. Peeters was one of the earliest painters specializing in still life and flowers.
