#ArtSaturday Maria van Oosterwijck
At a very young age, van Oosterwijck was taken to the studio of Dutch artist Jan Davidszoon de Heem, who is considered a major representative of Dutch Golden Age Still Life paintings.

Van Oosterwijck became Davidszoon de Heem's student and her interest in painting floral still lifes developed into a major talent.

Van Oosterwijck eventually moved from Delft to Utrecht to Antwerp, where she supported herself as a painter of floral still lifes.

#ArtSaturday Maria van Oosterwijck
Van Oosterwijck's still lifes were painted with dark backgrounds, which was popular during the Dutch Golden Age, when wealthy patrons commissioned the art works.

In Antwerp, van Oosterwijck's studio was across from that of famous Dutch Golden Age painter Willem van Aelst.

Van Oosterwijck never married, and Van Aelst claimed that eventually he stopped pursuing her because she loved painting more than she loved him.

#ArtSaturday Maria van Oosterwijck
Van Oosterwijck was a talented painter and businesswoman. Despite this, she was not permitted to join the artists' guild because she was a woman: women were not permitted to join.

During the Dutch Golden Age, when Protestant Reformation Art reigned supreme, women were expected only to be daughters, wives, and mothers, not independent painters.

Van Oosterwijck's contemporary, Rachel Ruysch, who also painted floral still lifes, was married and had 10 children, so Ruysch was considered, by contemporaneous critics, to be more "well rounded."

Though she never married, van Oosterwijck raised her orphaned nephew; she also taught her servant how to mix paints and how to paint.

After van Oosterwijck's death, her servant, Geertgen Wyntges (Geertje Pieters), supported herself as a painter of floral still lifes, just as van Oosterwijck did.

As with other still life painters of the Dutch Golden Age, van Oosterwijck's paintings were simply called "still life" by the artist: critics, collectors, & museums add identifying details.

As with the work of other Dutch Golden Age painters, all created during the Protestant Reformation, the floral paintings were Vanitas: meant to remind wealthy patrons & viewers that "all men must die."

Some contemporaneous critics did not consider van Oosterwijck to be a "professional artist," despite her supporting herself, because she was a woman.

Waterhouse is often considered a “Pre-Raphaelite” painter, though that movement had passed, due to his fondness for painting beautiful women, often femme fatales, who were mostly from classical mythology or Arthurian legends

Waterhouse painted females from various famous myths, stories, and tales, but he seemed drawn to women featured in brutal or tragic stories

Waterhouse found the “beauty or calm” in these brutal and tragic stories, say some critics. Waterhouse’s audience may have been more classically educated so may have known more of these stories on which paintings were based
