Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1679, the commentator Joachim von Sandrart described Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) as a painter who had perfected the art of the miniature and of flower painting, a high and deserved honour. Posthumously, however, it is Merian's status as an entomologist or naturalist that has garnered the most attention; she has not received her due as an artist. This book remedies this situation and assists the reader in understanding Merian's life as a woman and as an artist in the early modern Dutch Republic. Using Merian's hundreds of extant watercolours and book illustrations as sources, in combination with her surviving correspondence and with contemporary art treatises, Catherine Powell-Warren recognizes the artistic contributions of Maria Sibylla Merian, and situates them in their socio-cultural and creative context. This book is the first to consider Merian's art and art-historical significance: her artistic range; her techniques; the rich visual rhetoric she deployed in her works; and her innovations. Merian may not have been a guild member, but she was for all intents and purposes the head of a for-profit business (a 'master'), seeing to the training of her daughters and managing a successful workshop, publishing her works, and networking to secure patrons and resources. Considering the impediments she faced as a woman, her achievements as an artist, as well as in other realms, can be considered noteworthy and perhaps even extraordinary.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This captivating study of the life and career of Maria Sibylla Merian focuses on her artistic output and accomplishments. The career and achievements of Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) are well-documented. A pioneering artist and scientist, she spent much of her life innovating across various mediums and disciplines. Her curiosity was so strong that it led her on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to South America in pursuit of knowledge. While her status as an entomologist and naturalist has garnered the most attention, Merian has not yet received her full due as an artist. Raised by a family of illustrators and publishers, she learned how to draw, mix paints, create prints, and paint in watercolor from her stepfather, still-life expert Jacob Marrel. Her stepfather's attention and tutelage would provide the foundation for her talents to flourish and teach her that her gender was not a barrier to success. In Maria Sibylla Merian, author Catherine Powell-Warren examines Merian through an art historical lens to better understand her life as a woman and illustrator in the early modern Dutch Republic. This volume highlights Merian's artistic range, financial successes, and historical significance. Considering the obstacles women artists faced in this period, Merian's achievements--namely her management of a successful artists' studio and for-profit workshop--were extraordinary.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At once collector, botanist, reader, artist, and patron, Agnes Block is best described as a cultural producer. A member of an influential network in her lifetime, today she remains a largely obscure figure. The socioeconomic and political barriers faced by early modern women, together with a male-dominated tradition in art history, have meant that too few stories of women's roles in the creation, production, and consumption of art have reached us. This book seeks to write Block and her contributions into the art and cultural history of the seventeenth-century Netherlands, highlighting the need for and advantages of a multifaceted approach to research on early modern women. Examining Block's achievements, relationships, and objects reveals a woman who was independent, knowledgeable, self-aware, and not above self-promotion. Though her gender brought few opportunities and many barriers, Agnes Block succeeded in fashioning herself as Flora Batava, a liefhebber at the intersection of art and science.…
