The Hyde Collection in Glen Falls, NY, will be opening their latest exhibition A Feast of Fruit and Flowers: Women Still Life Painters of the Seventeenth Century and Beyond later this month.
According to their website:
A Feast of Fruit and Flowers explores the important role women artists played in the development of the still life genre in seventeenth-century Europe. Still life painting emerged as a recognized genre during this time period, with subjects ranging from artfully composed floral arrangements to tables brimming with food. Many of the leading still life painters were women: at a time when women were limited in the subjects they were able to paint, still life was a genre that was deemed proper, and could be done in the privacy of one’s home. The exhibition features loans from museums from across the country and includes paintings by Fede Galizia, Clara Peeters, Maria Sibylla Merian, and Rachel Ruysch.
The show will run from 25th October 2025 until 8th March 2026.
