EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature, featuring a branch of cassava (Manihot esculenta) adorned with a black tegu lizard (Tupinambis nigropunctatus) and a delicate white peacock butterfly (Anartia jatrophae). The image is part of Maria Sybilla Merian's renowned work "Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten" (On the reproduction and miraculous transformations of Surinamese insects), published in 1719. Maria Sybilla Merian, an influential Dutch artist and naturalist from the 17th century, dedicated her life to studying and documenting various species. Her detailed illustrations captured not only their physical characteristics but also their behavior and interactions within their ecosystems. In this particular engraving, meticulously hand-colored by Peter Sluyter, we witness the harmonious coexistence between different organisms. The vibrant green hues of the cassava branch provide an ideal backdrop for both the striking black tegu lizard perched upon it and the ethereal white peacock butterfly fluttering nearby. Merian's work serves as a testament to her dedication to scientific accuracy combined with artistic finesse. Through her illustrations, she aimed to educate and inspire others about the wonders of nature. This remarkable piece from her collection "Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium" transports us into a world teeming with biodiversity found in Suriname
