Maria Sibylla Merian was an entomologist, botanist, naturalist, and an extraordinary artist – a pioneer of modern entomology. Despite her strictly religious mother’s desire to focus her education on domestic skills, her stepfather, an artist and art dealer, encouraged her artistic development. Merian meticulously documented insect metamorphoses and the flora and fauna of Suriname in intricate, detailed illustrations. Add a touch of scientific curiosity to your home with Maria’s exquisite works, available as framed art prints.
