Abstract

The author reflects on the relationship between metamorphosis and the works of artist and naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian. She shares to her students the wonders of transformations of nature by demonstrating the metamorphosis of a butterfly and gives a brief historical background on Merian who was one of the greatest female artists of the 17th century. The author finds the works of Merian as a depiction of particular sensitivity toward the natural world and its inhabitants.
