This captivating study of the life and career of Maria Sibylla Merian focuses on her artistic output and accomplishments.

The career and achievements of Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) are well-documented. A pioneering artist and scientist, she spent much of her life innovating across various mediums and disciplines. Her curiosity was so strong that it led her on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to South America in pursuit of knowledge. While her status as an entomologist and naturalist has garnered the most attention, Merian has not yet received her full due as an artist. Raised by a family of illustrators and publishers, she learned how to draw, mix paints, create prints, and paint in watercolor from her stepfather, still-life expert Jacob Marrel. Her stepfather's attention and tutelage would provide the foundation for her talents to flourish and teach her that her gender was not a barrier to success.

In Maria Sibylla Merian, author Catherine Powell-Warren examines Merian through an art historical lens to better understand her life as a woman and illustrator in the early modern Dutch Republic. This volume highlights Merian's artistic range, financial successes, and historical significance. Considering the obstacles women artists faced in this period, Merian's achievements--namely her management of a successful artists' studio and for-profit workshop--were extraordinary.
