Maria Sibylla Merian

Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717) was a German naturalist and artist. She became world-renowned for her detailed illustrations of plants, flowers and insects. Her book Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium contains sixty hand-coloured engravings depicting the remarkable insects and plants she studied during her journey to Suriname. Her work beautifully captures the wonders of nature.
