    Barbara Regina Dietzch [German painter, water-colorist and illustrator from the Nuremberg artist dynasty 1706-1783].

    Dietzch developed a technique of watercolor over gold leaf on vellum that had never been attempted before. She had a considerable influence over many still life natural history artists of the period and her watercolors were strongly collected during her lifetime.
