Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was fascinated by plants and insects and studied them intensively. In 1691 Merian moved to Amsterdam, where she bred insects and followed their metamorphoses in order to draw and describe them as accurately as possible. Merian was one of the first people to show that all insects, not just some, undergo a change and that there is a close relationship between plants and animals. 🚨 Discover more of our Stories: www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/stories __ Maria Sibylla Merian

From a young age, Maria Sibylla Merian watched bugs. Eventually, she started to collect and illustrate live insects instead of preserved specimens. Merian was one of the first entomologists to observe insects & describe their life cycles. She published her own book of illustrations in 1705, a first for a woman, that revolutionized botany and zoology. #BecauseOfHerStory #HerNaturalHistory To see some of her illustrations, click over to Smithsonian Libraries here: https://s.si.edu/2H35bfK | Smiths

In the 1600s a German artist and naturalist named Maria Sibylla Merian challenged the common belief that insects emerged spontaneously from mud. Trained as an artist, she began collecting caterpillars at the age of 13 and recorded their entire transformation process. Her revolutionary studies culminated in a beautifully illustrated book on European insects and a later, adventurous expedition to Suriname that revealed the wonders of tropical species and reshaped the scientific view of metamorphos

She didn’t just illustrate nature. She explained it. Maria Sibylla Merian combined art and direct observation to document insect life cycles centuries before biology formalized the field. The images were beautiful. The science was decisive.
