Merian’s works were valued for their skilled depiction of bugs & flowers as well as their aesthetic, showing the versatility of her art & science to work as designs & serious science. Not sure many scientists can claim their work impacted decorative art so profoundly?#museumbuddy
And another example of embroidered pocket (@colonialwmsburg) found by @Isabellarosner 's expert eyes that shows (maybe?) Merian’s influence. I love the detail of the vase at the bottom - it is this tiny, stable thing in a swarm of huge flowers.
We can compare Merian’s print to the floral embroidery on this c.1700 stomacher @metmuseum - thanks to my #museumbuddy @IsabellaRosner for finding this gorgeous example. I love how the spacing (maybe?) mimics the spacing on the page of Merian’s print.
This engraving from her 1680 ‘New Book of Flowers’ was promoted for botanical study, but Merian understood how it could & would be used as a pattern book if she made the prints pattern-like, transferable to textile. #museumbuddy
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
