Orange with butterfly. A Perfect Recreation™ of the engraving with original hand color. By Maria Sibylla Merian, c. 1699. 9" x 13"

Merian arrived in Surinam in 1699 to study and paint the exotic butterflies -- and the caterpillars they developed from. She produced a series of iconic botanical images of the fruits and flowers her insects lived with and on. These delicate and flamboyant works are masterpieces of the Art of Discovery; our Perfect Recreations™ of them let you bring home museum-quality art at an affordable price.
