Merian made ‘needle paintings’ & taught embroidery. So, when she began to work on paper she was primed to think how her works would translate across media. Her early compositions in print & drawing were also useful patterns/design inspiration for textiles. This image @rijksmuseum

Merian drew for art & science: ‘I was always encouraged to embellish my flower painting with caterpillars, summer birds [butterflies] & such little animals in the same manner in which landscape painters do in pictures, to enliven the one through the other. . .’ #museumbuddy

Merian is best known as a printmaker, botanical artist & entomologist (just a few things!), but like most 17th c. women, she was trained in needlepoint and fabric making from about age 8. Here's an early, gorgeous (!!!) hand-coloured engraving from the 1670s #museumbuddy

Day 2 of @museumbuddy! Today look at two 17th/e. 18th c print/textile makers. First, I’ve chosen Maria Sibylla Merian because I worked closely w/ her art when I worked in Prints & Drawings @britishmuseum. Her engraved self-portrait (1719) shows off her knowledge. #MuseumBuddy

May I present how art process & materials impact content?

From the 15th c. textile cultivation for clothes & decoration were part of a girl’s education & a woman’s household responsibility. Women also maintained a place in the textile trade. #museumbuddy
