‘Parrot Tulip With Butterfly And Beetle’ by Barbara Regina Dietzsch. This artist was the daughter of German artist Johann Israel Dietzsch , a renowned painter, draftsman and etcher. Her father taught her artistic skills as a young child and encouraged her to perfect and refine her talent eventually making her a partner in his workshop. She developed a technique of using watercolours over gold leaf on vellum that had never been attempted before and it influenced many still life and natural history artists of the period. Her paintings have a deep dimensional quality due to the rich, dark backgrounds that set off the more subtle colours of the botanicals subjects. #objet_d_emotion…#valerydemure#jewellery#fashionjewelry#finejewellery#contemporarydesign#jewelry#finejewelry#art#modernart#sculpture#luxury#objetdemotion#handmade#instagood#designerjewellery#fashionjewellery#fineart#jewellerycollector#jewelrycollector#preciousstone#diamonds#silver#abstractart#jewel#jewels#artisan#abstract#craftsmanship#gold
