Barbara Regina Dietzsch Watercolor, A Carnation with a Resting Butterfly - A Masterpiece by Germanys Greatest Natural History Woman Artist
Est: $25,000 - $35,000
DIETZSCH, Barbara Regina (German, 1706-1783). A Carnation with a Resting Butterfly. Gouache, watercolor, and gold leaf on vellum. 13 13/16" x 10 1/2" vellum, 24 1/4" x 21" framed. Provenance: With art antiquarian Hans Marcus (19121992), Düsseldorf, Germany. Purchased by Arader in 1987 in a group of approximately 60 works by Barbara Regina Dietzsch. To a private collector (1995). To W. Graham Arader III. A Masterpiece by Germanys Greatest Natural History Woman Artist. Barbara Regina Dietzsch was a member of an important family of painters, engravers, and musicians that flourished in Nuremberg during the eighteenth-century. Dietzsch was particularly known for her marvelous renderings of flowers and fruit in watercolor and gouache. Employed at the court of Nuremberg, she drew extensively for engravers there, and her work was of such outstanding quality that it was used by Trew and Georg Ehret for a number of plates in the Hortus Nitidissimis (1750-86). The patronage of Dr. Christoph Trew, the great botanist and bibliographer, made Nuremberg one of the foremost centers of botanical art in the world, and the Dietzsch family was one of the most noted of the era. Even at the time of its production, the work of Barbara Regina Dietzsch was much sought after by collectors in both the Netherlands and in England. It is recorded that some of the best known painters of the time accepted her works as a form of payment, signaling the great reputation she attained during her lifetime -- a celebration that has continued to grow in the intervening centuries. Like most of her family's work, Dietzsch's watercolors are often characterized by the use of a black or dark brown ground and it is partly upon the basis of this that the current attribution has been based. This creates a dramatic contrast between the subject and background and emphasizes the sharp, hard finish of the drawing. The great flower painter Georg Ehret occasionally placed his bouquets on a dark background, but these are not nearly so successful as Dietzsch's in making the subject come to life. Various examples of her work can be found in the Broughton Collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England and in each the dark ground is present. What separates the work of Barbara Regina from that of her other family members is the remarkable clarity of depiction and skill in rendering. With unbelievable mastery and stylistic power, Dietzsch overcame contemporary estimations of women's inferiority in the field of art, creating watercolors of distinctive splendor.

Dietzsch & Wirsing - Canary. 18
Est: $400 - $800
This exceedingly rare, exquisitely hand-colored folio engraving is from Barbara Regina Dietzschin's Sammlung meistens Deutscher Vogel or Collection of Mostly German Birds. The work was published in Nuremberg for Wirsing between 1772 and 1777. The illustrations were done by Barbara Regina Dietzsch. Adam Ludwig Wirsing completed the engravings for the work. Each engraving features stunning hand-coloring on super quality, chain-linked watermarked paper. This work is considered the best publication on German birds in the 18th century. Adding only to this work's desirability and scarcity, is that the illustrations were completed by a female artist in a time period where there work was very rarely published let alone credited. Barbara Regina Dietzsch was from a family of noted artists (her father was Johann Israel Dietzsch), but her work became the most celebrated over time. Her flower and animal paintings found collectors all over the world and remain higly collectible to this day. This work was also likely able to be published due to the financial stimulus of Dr. Christoph Jakob Trew. Trew assembled young artists and scientists in Nuremberg making it a have for some of the best publications in this time include the work of Maria Sibylla Merian, Georg Dionysius Ehret, and G. W. Knorr. Heidrun Ludwig noted of Dietzsch's work "Die Starke dieser Vogelbilder liegt vor allem in der meisterhaften, haptischen Wiedergabe der Gefieder, die Dietzsch so uberzeugend imitierte, dass ihre Stucke einen Vergleich mit den grossen Jagtstilleben von Jan Baptiste Weenix oder Willem van Aelst nicht zu scheuen brauchen? Die Schonheit der Vogelbilder Barbara Regina Dietzsch und ihre getreue Nachahmung naturlichen Vogelgefieders wurden von den zeitgenössischen Betrachtern bewundert." (Nurnberger naturgeschichtliche Malerei im 17. Und 18. Jahrhundert' pages 45-46) The translation of this is essentially "The strength of these bird pictures lies above all in the masterful, haptic reproduction of the plumage, which Dietzsch so convincingly imitated that her pieces need not shy away from a comparison with the great hunting still lifes of Jan Baptiste Weenix or Willem van Aelst. The beauty of bird images Barbara Regina Dietzsch and her faithful imitation of natural bird plumage were admired by contemporary observers."
