Michaelian Home Collection Barbara Regina Dietzsch (1706-1783), one of the finest botanical artists of the eighteenth century, was a member of an important and talented family of artists in Nuremberg. Her paintings (gouache and watercolor on vellum) are characterized by the use of dark, usually brown, backgrounds that in this case creates a stunning contrast to the soft delicate flower. Her lovely yellow narcissus, painted about 1740, will bring early springtime into your home.
