Maria Sibylla Merian: Metamorphosis of insects in Suriname

There was a woman who lived through the end of the Dutch golden age. Born in Frankfurt, who grew up in a house of art and publishing, who observed and enjoyed nature. In the middle of getting married and raising two daughters, she taught pictures and embroidery to women in good families and opened her own writings and paintings with books. He spent the same time behind him, staying with the Ravadist religious community, preparing to be a butterfly. The very city that he was admiring, "Is there such a place for total freedom?" -- the man who moved to Amsterdam and worked with intellectuals and artists constantly. A courageous man who at the age of fifty-two set out to Suriname, far from South America, to make a venture to look at insects. He's returned to Amsterdam, and he's seen all the business-like aspects of his work, which he'll be changing into books and selling. Maria Gibilla Maryan is just that. The Meteriso@725, a 1705, is her representative work with Mary and her second daughter, Dorothea, who traveled for two years to see the living insects in Suriname and then combined 60 drawings and articles on them with her own. Many researchers back then, with the backing of powerful men and sometimes traveling with them in America, found it difficult to enjoy such benefits because Maryan was an older woman.
