EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature's metamorphosis. The image features a branch of a fig tree, scientifically known as Ficus carica, adorned with the mesmerizing transformation of the fig sphinx moth (Pachylia ficus) and its counterpart, the Pachylia syces moth. The artwork is derived from Maria Sybilla Merian's renowned publication titled "Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten" (On the reproduction and miraculous transformations of Surinamese insects). This Dutch edition was published in 1719 and includes transfer engraving that has been meticulously hand-colored. Atop the branch sits a magnificent Pachylia syces moth, exuding elegance with its vibrant hues and delicate wings. Its presence adds an ethereal touch to this already enchanting composition. The fig sphinx moth undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis captured within this print. From its initial form as a caterpillar to its eventual emergence as a splendid adult moth, every stage is depicted with astonishing detail by Maria Sibylla Merian. This extraordinary piece not only celebrates the natural wonders found in Suriname but also pays homage to Merian's pioneering work in entomology during her time. It serves as a testament to her dedication and passion for studying and documenting these marvelous creatures.
