Homeward Bound by JW Ruecroft

Painted from memory, this shows the artist at the tiller as a 13 year old boy, steering the trawler 'Edith Nora' home from a on in 1937. Hungry gulls flock around as the catch is sorted on board.

This has got me curious. Maybe these magazine illustrations for McCall’s and the Saturday Evening Post give us some idea of the lush colours Neysa’s Stehli silks had? https://t.co/WIJuc9xABv

Textile & print speak to one another. This photo of embroidered curtain from Frances's design for fellow designer Fritz Waerndorfer shows how the threaded lines of embroidery echo lines printed on paper, both sculpturally rise from the surface.

A reproduced painting was not seen as a copy, but a meaningful work in its own right. Widely shared prints of Kauffman’s work inspired women to create their own interpretations.

Here is one last compare to end our today from Merian’s 'New Book of Flowers' (1680) & an embroidery pattern from Helm (c. 1725)

We'll be back tomorrow to explore needle paintings in the 18th & 19th c. featuring Angelica Kauffman - get excited!

Merian’s works were valued for their skilled depiction of bugs & flowers as well as their aesthetic, showing the versatility of her art & science to work as designs & serious science. Not sure many scientists can claim their work impacted decorative art so profoundly?#museumbuddy

We can compare Merian’s print to the floral embroidery on this c.1700 stomacher - thanks to my for finding this gorgeous example. I love how the spacing (maybe?) mimics the spacing on the page of Merian’s print.

This engraving from her 1680 ‘New Book of Flowers’ was promoted for botanical study, but Merian understood how it could & would be used as a pattern book if she made the prints pattern-like, transferable to textile.

Merian drew for art & science: ‘I was always encouraged to embellish my flower painting with caterpillars, summer birds [butterflies] & such little animals in the same manner in which landscape painters do in pictures, to enliven the one through the other. . .’

Merian is best known as a printmaker, botanical artist & entomologist (just a few things!), but like most 17th c. women, she was trained in needlepoint and fabric making from about age 8. Here's an early, gorgeous (!!!) hand-coloured engraving from the 1670s

Day 2 of ! Today look at two 17th/e. 18th c print/textile makers. First, I’ve chosen Maria Sibylla Merian because I worked closely w/ her art when I worked in Prints & Drawings . Her engraved self-portrait (1719) shows off her knowledge.

From the 15th c. textile cultivation for clothes & decoration were part of a girl’s education & a woman’s household responsibility. Women also maintained a place in the textile trade.
