| Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was born in Frankfurt to a well-known Swiss engraver, Mattheus Merian. After her father's death, when Maria was an infant, her mother married Jacob Marrell, the Dutch flower painter. Early on, Maria displayed a talent for drawing, particularly insects. Eventually she studied with Abraham Mignon, her father's pupil and later Johann Graff, whom she subsequently married. |
