Maria Merians Butterflies - Kate Heard
In 1699, the German artist and entomologist Maria Sibylla Merian set sail for Suriname, in South America. Those studies led to the publication of the Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium (The Metamorphosis of the Insects of Suriname), a luxury volume, which brought the wonders of Suriname to Europe. There she would spend two years studying the animals and plants which she encountered, aiming to explore the life-cycle of insects (the only partially understood).
Many are luxury versions of the plates of the Metamorphosis, partially printed and partially hand painted onto vellum by the artist herself. Maria Merian’s Butterflies tells Merian’s story through her works in the Royal Collection, acquired by George III.
