RACHEL RUYSCHNOVEMBER 2023G.












Book cover and editorial design for Rachel Ruysch: A New Perspective celebrating the life and work of one of the most recognised and documented women painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in The Hague, Ruysch was a still-life painter who specialized in flowers, inventing her own style and achieving international fame in her lifetime.
Throughout, there is a clean layout and editorial design to keep the focus firmly on the paintings themselves. This deliberate choice ensures that there are no distractions that might detract from the viewer’s engagement with the intricate beauty of Ruysch’s work. 

The minimalist aesthetic not only keeps the paintings at the forefront but also enhances the viewer’s appreciation of their intricacy and delicate nature. The design acts not merely as a backdrop but as a harmonious companion that elevates the viewing experience, amplifying the impact of Ruysch’s remarkable artworks.
