The artist and her influence Maria Sibylla Merian, a woman of science and art, left her mark on her era with her innovative approach to entomology and botany. Born in the 17th century, she managed to establish herself in an artistic world dominated by men, becoming one of the first naturalists to study and illustrate insects in their natural habitat. Her work not only contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge, but also paved the way for a new form of art.
