A woman ahead of her time, Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was<br>an intrepid explorer, naturalist, scholar, as well as a magnificent<br>artist. This lovely, impeccably designed book tells Merian's<br>incredible life story alongside colorful reproductions of her<br>engravings and watercolors of the butterflies she encountered<br>during her lifetime in Germany and the Netherlands, and her<br>seminal trip to the Dutch colony of Surinam. The book recounts<br>Merian's monumental expedition, her work as an advocate for<br>the slave laborers of Surinam, and her important studies of the<br>anatomy and life cycle of the butterfly. Author Boris Friedewald<br>employs Merian's favorite insect as a metaphor for the artist's<br>own pioneering evolution from budding entomologist to<br>educator, activist, and artist. A visual treasure as well as a<br>satisfying read, this exquisite volume is the perfect gift for<br>anyone interested in Merian's amazing life and groundbreaking<br>body of work.
