Life

Barbara Regina Dietzsch is considered to be one of the most talented and productive members of the Dietzsch family of artists. She was the eldest daughter of the painter, draftsman and etcher Johann Israel Dietzsch . Like her sister and her five younger brothers, she received her training in her father's workshop.

Barbara Regina Dietzsch's work was in international demand and was exported to the Netherlands and England . She received several appointments as court painter , but regularly refused this professional perspective. It is speculated whether for family reasons or whether she did not want to submit artistic freedom to the taste of the court.

Her pictures show the depictions of birds, insects, flowers, landscapes, hunting scenes and portraits , which were very popular in the 18th century . Dietzsch worked very precisely. The finest cobweb threads can still be seen on the representation of a "spiny donkey thistle with insects". Her meticulous drawing style goes back to her preoccupation with French and Dutch still lifes . Shortly after her death, one of her reviewers wondered about this perfectionism, since she "like her brothers seldom went outside the city and always sat at home over her work." (Johann Meusel, ed., Miscellaneus artistic content, 23 H., Erfurt 1785, p. 304).

Publications

From 1772 to 1775, the publisher Knorr published the two-volume book of flowers and drawings for women rooms with etchings based on Dietzsch's drawings.
