Artist
Johann Jakob Walther
Johann Jakob Walther is a Barbizon school artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Working in the 1600s, Johann Jakob Walther painted delicate watercolours of flowers and fruit, often naming each kind in Latin. His bouquets of tulips, cherries and peonies feel fresh almost four centuries later, their petals crisp against the page. He also captured the plan of a grand garden near Itzstein in two “Simulacrum” views, line by line. See how the berries glisten. Next, peel back the petals in Paeonies (Paeonia officinalis).
