Combining artistic precision with scientific observation, Maria Sibylla Merian transformed the study of insects in the 17th century. Brought up in a family of artists, her fascination with butterflies led her, aged fifty-two, to voyage to Suriname. Her meticulous illustrations and studies of insect life cycles helped lay the foundations of modern entomology.
