There she would produce a series of beautiful and scientifically accurate illustrations of the natural world which she encountered. These drawings, in which Merian aimed to explore the life-cycle of insects (then only partially understood), led to the publication of the Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium, a luxury volume which brought the wonders of the wildlife of Suriname to Europe. Maria Merian's Butterflies tells MerianÌs story through her works in the Royal Collection. Over three-hundred years after they were made, these meticulous, brilliant works celebrate a woman whose art and whose story are enduringly popular." from publisher's website. 600 10 $a Merian, Maria Sibylla, $d 1647-1717. $t Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium $v Illustrations. 610 20 $a Royal Collection (Great Britain) $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Butterflies $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Butterflies $z Suriname $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Caterpillars $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Butterflies $x Metamorphosis $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Butterflies in art $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Zoological illustration $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Insects $z Suriname $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Animals $z Suriname $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Plants $z Suriname $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 700 1 $a Heard, Kate, $e writer of added text. 710 2 $a Royal Collection Trust, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102015249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56280E848B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
