Flower Power - Dutch Women Painters of the 17th Century (2026)

Flower Power - Niederländische Malerinnen im 17. Jahrhundert

During the 1600s, breakthroughs in science and the creation of the telescope inspired women painters in the Netherlands to turn a sharp eye on the natural world, weaving reptiles and insects into their artwork. Pioneers like Maria Sibylla Merian, Alida Withoos, and Maria Moninckx pushed forward the fields of botany and zoology through their exquisitely precise illustrations. Though nearly lost to history, their masterpieces now grace the walls of major museums across the globe.
