It’s #BritishScienceWeek and #WomensHistoryMonth, so we’re sharing the work of three trailblazing naturalists and artists – Maria Sibylla Merian and her daughters, Dorothea Graff and Johanna Herolt.

Maria Sibylla Merian was an unconventional figure in the scientific world of the late 17th century. Few contemporaries could match her sophisticated combination of art and science. In 1699 she travelled with Dorothea to Surinam in South America, where they made intricate illustrations of plants and animals native to the area. Merian returned to Amsterdam in 1701 and published her research – the first scientific work produced about the region.

Merian trained her two daughters to be equally adept natural history artists. The first image depicting a caterpillar and a bitter orange is by Merian, the second is attributed to Graff, and the last is considered to be a collaboration between Merian and Herolt – the bird and butterfly are by Maria, but the fig branch is by Johanna ?? #BSW2019 #WHM2019 #science #MariaSibyllaMerian #illustration #drawing #NaturalHistory #BritishMuseum #London #UK
