This artwork was inspired by Maria Sibylla Merian, a pioneer in art, science, and business.
From an early age Merian was an accomplished painter of flowers and insects and an entomologist, possessing a great ability to move between art and science. Fusing artistic
endeavour and nature observation, her fascinating paintings defied Victorian categorisation.
They are a fitting monument to such an unusual figure whose life, too, was a blaze of colour making her one of the greatest artist‑naturalists of her time.
