Podcast appearances and mentions of Maria Sibylla Merian

À la croisée de l'art et de la science, certains artistes ont profondément transformé notre compréhension du vivant. C'est le cas de Maria Sibylla Merian, remarquable dessinatrice et aquarelliste, dont l'observation attentive de la nature a ouvert la voie à une connaissance nouvelle du monde.Yasmine Boudaka et l'historien Louis-Pascal Jacquemond retracent le parcours de cette pionnière de l'écologie qui, au 18ème siècle, a livré, à travers son œil curieux et ses illustrations détaillées, un travail scientifique majeur sur les insectes et sur la métamorphose des papillons en particulier. Ce qui ne l'a pas empêché elle aussi de subir le fameux "effet Matilda". sujets traités : Maria Sibylla Merian, effet, Matilda, pionnière ,écologie , insectes , papillons Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Esta semana os hablamos monográficamente de insectos a cuenta de la publicación de Insectópolis, un tebeo de divulgación del artista estadounidense Peter Kuper. En el tebeo, Kuper imagina cómo verían los propios insectos una exposición (humana) sobre insectos, y qué opinarían sobre los humanos que los han estudiado a lo largo de la historia. Uno de los pasajes del cómic está dedicado a Maria Sibylla Merian, una artista del siglo XVII que dedicó toda su obra a la observación y la documentación de los insectos, y muy en particular su ciclo de vida y su relación con las plantas. Merian fue la primera persona que se fijó en que muchos insectos son enormemente selectivos y sólo viven o se alimentan en ciertas especies de plantas. Durante toda su vida estuvo fascinada por la metamorfosis de las mariposas, y fue una de las primeras personas en documentarla en todos sus pasos. Merian es, probablemente, la primera ilustradora de la naturaleza que tuvo una mentalidad sistemática, y que por tanto estuvo muy cerca de la ciencia. Si queréis ver algunas de sus ilustraciones, muchas están disponibles online. Por ejemplo, en este enlace: https://www.wikiart.org/es/maria-sibylla-merianhttps://www.wikiart.org/es/maria-sibylla-merian En la otra mitad de la sección nos fijamos en las mariposas en el siglo XXI, y en cómo sus poblaciones están dando señales muy claras de estrés. En algunos lugares el número de avistamientos de mariposas ha disminuido en un 60%, y eso que las mariposas son uno de los pocos insectos en los que nos fijamos. El declive general de las poblaciones de insectos es uno de los grandes problemas ecológicos de nuestro siglo, aunque nos fijamos menos en ellos que en los mamíferos o las aves. Si os interesa este asunto, lo tratamos hace unos meses en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia; buscad el capítulo s14e17 y allí tendréis más datos sobre la preocupante situación de las poblaciones insectiles.

Ceri interviews award winning filmmaker Halina Dyrschka, whose documentary "Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint" brought worldwide attention to the pioneer of abstract art. Halina shares her creative experiences, from acting and classical singing to filmmaking, the challenges of securing funding for her documentary and her battle against institutional gatekeeping in the art world. She also talks about how artists can embrace true creativity by recognising the essentialness of exploration and that reality is often overrated! KEY TAKEAWAYS Halina's creative journey began in acting and classical singing, but frustration with the narrow minded theatre system led her to filmmaking, to maintain creative independence and tell stories that matter to her. When first seeing Hilma af Klint's work, Halina experienced an immediate emotional connection and became angry at how institutions had overlooked such powerful art, revealing systemic problems in museum culture. The art world often operates on institutional thinking rather than individual vision, people in museums across different countries think similarly because they prioritise career and success over the true purpose of art. Creating great work requires collaborating with people who will challenge you; Halina values working with editors and composers who bring different strengths and aren't afraid to push back when something isn't working. Funding is a major challenge for independent filmmakers, but Halina emphasises the importance of starting projects through self-funded research and following your enthusiasm before securing complete financing. After winning film prizes, Halina realised the happiness didn’t last and that what matters most is the inner journey and connecting with even one person who understands your work. Halina is drawn to extraordinary, overlooked biographies like Maria Sibylla Merian, a 17th-century female scientist and artist who travelled to South America to study insects when people were still burning witches in Europe. True creativity often emerges from spiritual exploration; both Hilma af Klint and James Howell (subjects of Halina's documentaries) were interested in spiritual questions. BEST MOMENTS "Reality is highly overrated. Especially as an artist.” "It would have been a completely different film if we had gotten funding immediately. It took me quite a long time, five years for the research and doing it. But those were important years because even in the last half year, things were discovered." "When my film was finished, I was refused from festivals for weeks, over months. Then I had an interesting moment; I felt that if I could just reach one person with it, that would be a huge success." "If you put yourself alongside people who you are happy to be challenged by, I think that's a really great and exciting creative environment, where someone can playfully tease you into another way of thinking." "The ego is the biggest problem for all of us. It's something we really have to get rid of, hopefully in this life." "If it happens, it happens. If it should be, it will be. And if not, it does not. You have to trust life a bit, always trust life." "The most important thing is that you trust yourself because then other people can trust you as well."

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Marieke van Delft, boekhistoricus. Afgelopen week kwam de kunstfilm Metamorfose uit van filmmaker en mediakunstenaar Pim Zwier. Metamorfose brengt het inspirerende verhaal van kunstenaar en wetenschapper Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) tot leven. Zij is een Duits-Nederlandse kunstenares en pionier in de entomologie en was haar tijd ver vooruit. Ze legde als eerste de volledige metamorfose van rupsen tot vlinders vast in haar prachtige prenten en gravures. Metamorfose is een unieke mix van natuurfilm, kostuumdrama en kunstproject. Pim Zwier brengt Merian's 17-eeuwse prenten en schilderijen tot leven met acteurs en verweeft dit met beelden van de metamorfose van rups tot vlinder. Marieke van Delft is voormalig conservator bij de KB Den Haag en auteur van het boek Maria Sibylla Merian. Changing the Nature of Art and Science.

Pim Zwier is filmmaker, fotograaf en mediakunstenaar. In 2021 won zijn film ‘O, eieren verzamelen ondanks de tijden' de prijs voor Beste Regie op IDFA in de Envision-competitie en in 2022 ontving Zwier op hetzelfde filmfestival het ‘Documentaire Stipendium' van het Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds. Zijn nieuwste project ‘Metamorfose' gaat over Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), een Duits-Nederlandse kunstenares en pionier in de entomologie. Zij legde als eerste de volledige metamorfose van rupsen tot vlinders vast en illustreerde de insecten in hun natuurlijke omgeving. Merian ging tegen de conventies van haar tijd in en liet een blijvende stempel achter op wetenschap en kunst. De film is een mix van natuurfilm, kostuumdrama en kunstproject en werd genomineerd voor de Best Dutch Film Award op IDFA. Femke van der Laan gaat met Pim Zwier in gesprek.

Een historische roman die zich afspeelt in achttiende-eeuws Franeker, waar een vrouw wanhopig terugverlangt naar haar oude baan bij het botanisch atelier van Maria Sibylla Merian. Uitgegeven door Mozaiek Spreker: Jorien Zeevaart

Lebanon's facing a massive crisis right now. More than 2,000 people have been killed in the past two weeks amid Israel and Hezbollah's war. Also, with flights to Iran, Lebanon and Iraq canceled, many travelers are stranded in Turkey, a regional transit hub. Our reporter takes us to the scene, as we hear how people stuck-in-transit are thinking about the escalation of war in the Middle East, and how they're feeling about its impact on their lives. Also, Japan shut down all 54 of its nuclear reactors after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Only a dozen reactors have been restarted since then. The national government wants to more than double that figure by 2030, saying it's essential to meeting energy and climate goals. But hurdles abound. And, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam just acquired a botany book by an author and illustrator named Maria Sibylla Merian, who was accused of exploiting native knowledge of enslaved people without credit. The German artist embarked on a self-funded voyage to Suriname in 1699 as a 52-year-old divorcee driven by relentless curiosity about the lives of insects. Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

In this History of Prints episode of Platemark, host Ann Shafer and subject matter expert Tru Ludwig explore the extraordinary life and legacy of Maria Sibylla Merian. Celebrated for her pioneering work on insect metamorphosis and her detailed illustrations of flora and fauna, Merian's journey took her to Suriname where she documented local species with the help of native people and slaves. Despite the societal constraints of the 17th century, she made significant contributions to both science and art, influencing future generations. The discussion also situates her achievements within the broader context of the Enlightenment and printmaking evolution, drawing comparisons with other naturalists like Audubon. The episode concludes with a teaser for an upcoming feature on William Hogarth, noted for his political satire. George Peabody Library, Baltimore, MD. Johann Zoffany (German, 1733–1810).

Een bijzondere aankoop van het Rijksmuseum deze zomer: een eerste druk van Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium van Maria Sibylla Merian. Het natuurhistorische meesterwerk uit 1705 geldt als een hoogtepunt in de Nederlandse boekproductie van de 18de eeuw. Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), een van oorsprong Duitse kunstenaar en naturalist, was de eerste Europese vrouw die wetenschappelijk onderzoek deed in Amerika. Op gedetailleerde wijze bracht ze de metamorfose van insecten in kaart. Boekhistoricus Marieke van Delft is te gast en vertelt over het ongewone levensverhaal van Merian, haar tijd in Suriname en haar bijdrage aan de wetenschap. Hoe ging Merian als vrouw om met de weerstand van mannen die haar niet serieus namen? Op welke manier verhield zij zich tot de inheemse bevolking en tot slaafgemaakten in Suriname, en in hoeverre is zij aan hen schatplichtig? In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: Rapper Def Rhymz, geboren als Dennis Oscar Bouman, werd geboren in Paramaribo, Suriname en groeide op in Rotterdam. Het werd bekend door zijn hits ‘Doekoe' in 1999 en ‘Schudden' in 2001 en maakte furore als lid van de eerste generatie rappers in Nederland. Hij sprak een enorm breed publiek aan en ontving tweemaal een TMF Award. Hij was een enorm actieve en enthousiaste artiest – en trouwens ook restauranthouder - tot hartfalen zijn leven bemoeilijkte. Hij was in afwachting van een donorhart, maar overleed op 53-jarige leeftijd. Zijn dood was een grote schok en bracht een mensenmassa op de been. Er werd geld ingezameld om hem een begrafenis in zijn geboorteland Suriname te kunnen geven die in april 2024 plaats vond.   Nicole Terborg volgt zijn spoor terug en praat met zijn moeder Esmey Ravales, journalist Saul van Stapele, jongere broer Lucien Bouman en jeugdvriend en mede-oprichter van Postmen Martin Bear (G-Boah).  Wat blijft, na de dood van Def Rhymz?

Schon als Jugendliche beobachtet Maria Sibylla Merian fasziniert, wie aus gefräßigen Raupen erst wie tot wirkende Puppen und dann bunte Schmetterlinge werden. Die 1646 geborene Tochter des berühmten Matthäus Merian ist künstlerisch hoch begabt. Jahre später gelingt ihr - fast undenkbar für eine Frau ihrer Zeit - eine Forschungsreise nach Surinam. Autorin: Renate Ell (BR 2013)

Die Künstlerin Maria Sibylla Merian war fasziniert von Schmetterlingen und Raupen. Doch es reichte ihr nicht, die Insekten zu zeichnen - sie wollte sie auch studieren. Dafür reiste sie vor 325 Jahren ins lateinamerikanische Surinam. Schroeder, Carina www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

In aflevering 68 is boekhistorica Marieke van Delft opnieuw te gast, ditmaal voor een gesprek over de vroegste geschiedenis van de boekdrukkunst, ook wel incunabelistiek. Eerder al was Marieke te gast in aflevering 48 voor een gesprek over Maria Sibylla Merian. Ditmaal hebben we haar uitgenodigd voor een gesprek over haar boekhistorische onderzoek. In 2015 promoveerde Marieke op het proefschrift getiteld: Van wiegendruk tot world wide web: Bijzondere collecties en de vele geschiedenissen van het gedrukte boek. In het gesprek van vandaag willen we vooral stil staan bij het eerste deel van de titel: de wiegendruk of incunabula in het Latijn. Deze term verwijst naar boeken die gedrukt zijn aan het prille begin van de boekdrukkunst, oftewel toen deze kunst nog in de kinderschoenen stond. Het startsein wordt gegeven door Johannes Gutenberg die omstreeks 1450 het drukken met losse letters uitvond en in 1455 zijn bekendste werk voltooide, de befaamde Gutenberg-bijbel. De boekdrukkunst luidt een belangrijke vernieuwing in het boekenbedrijf, maar leunt daarbij in belangrijke mate nog op de handschriften van daarvoor. De incunabelenperiode is een transitie- of overgangsperiode van handgeschreven manuscripten naar gedrukte teksten en afbeeldingen. Zoals Marieke zelf schrijft aan het begin van haar proefschrift: “Het boek zocht in deze tijd nog een vaste vorm vanuit de verschillende functies die het had en heeft: als artefact, als handelsobject en als betekenisdrager.” De zoektocht van het boek staat in deze aflevering centraal. Veel luisterplezier! 00:00-01:53 Introductie 01:53-05:15 Mariekes favoriete wiegendruk/incunabel 05:15-16:33 De wiegendrukkencollectie van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek en de aankoop van het getijdenboek van Wolfgang Hopyl 16:33-25:22 Een kleine geschiedenis ‘letters op papier zetten' en drukkers traceren 25:22-29:47 Papier in de tijd van de wiegendruk: van lompen tot papiermerkje 29:47-35:23 Afbeeldingen drukken in de incunabelenperiode 35:23-41:08 De overeenkomsten tussen handschriften, incunabelen, en websites 41:08–51:00 Mariekes onderzoek naar twee Leidse drukkers: Jan Bouwenszoon en Jan Paets Jacobszoon 51:00–59:37 Mariekes onderzoek naar de Leidse uitgever Pieter vander Meersche 59:37–01:02:00 De vondst van de incunabel ‘Die Hystorie vanden grooten Coninck Alexander,' gedrukt in Delft in 1491.

Schon als Jugendliche beobachtet Maria Sibylla Merian fasziniert, wie aus gefräßigen Raupen erst wie tot wirkende Puppen und dann bunte Schmetterlinge werden. Für Biologen des 18. Jahrhunderts waren ihre Bücher Fachliteratur. Autorin: Renate Ell (BR 2013)

Schon als Jugendliche beobachtet Maria Sibylla Merian fasziniert, wie aus gefräßigen Raupen erst wie tot wirkende Puppen und dann bunte Schmetterlinge werden. Für Biologen des 18. Jahrhunderts waren ihre Bücher Fachliteratur. Autorin: Renate Ell (BR 2013)

Maria Sibylla Merians Liebe zur Natur und ihrer Weltsicht als Künstlerin und Mystikerin, die im Dasein der Insekten die Größe von Gottes Schöpfung sah, folgt der Berliner Autor Patrick Findeis in seinem Hörspiel "Metamorphosen".

Maria Sibylla Merian's life story shows that her work is the foundation of Entomology, the science of insects.

In a world where words like "entomologist" and "ecologist" had not yet been coined, Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) managed to be both. She was trained as a painter of flowers but was really more interested in the bugs on the flowers. Her adventures took her from her native Germany to Holland, across the Atlantic to Surinam, and back, where her paintings of wildlife were admired by scientists across Europe and contributed to Carl Linnaeus's system of scientific nomenclature.Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.Support the show on my Patreon page for bonus episodes, polls, and a general feeling of self-satisfaction.Follow me on Twitter as @her_half.

Uit een eitje kruipt een rups, wordt dan een pop en verandert vervolgens in een vlinder. Het is een wonderlijke metamorfose die velen nu al leren zodra ze het kinderboek Rupsje Nooitgenoeg lezen. Een van de eersten die dit proces zag, in de zeventiende eeuw, en omschreef was Maria Sibylla Merian. Zij was een van de grondleggers van de ecologie.Presentatie: Laura WismansGasten: Gemma Venhuizen & Hendrik SpieringRedactie en montage: Elze van DrielHeeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Maria Sibylla Merian was born into a family of artists in mid-17th century Germany, so it's no surprise when she starts detailing fine illustrations of nature at just 13 years old, but what we're sure her parents didn't see coming was her vast collection of... CATERPILLARS! That's right. Maria ends up becoming the foremost expert on our favorite very hungry insects, and whole bunch of other works of nature including a wide variety of plants and even frogs! Maria's research and drawings are so meticulously detailed that she ends up turning the world of etymology on its head, dispelling inaccurate myths and rewriting the bug-knowledge books of the time. Maria is one of the most talented nerds we've ever talked about on this podcast, so you'd better tune in now to hear her fascinating story! — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

In aflevering 48 van Radio Horzelnest staat natuurgeleerde en kunstenares Maria Sibylla Merian (1646-1717) centraal. In een aantal afleveringen is haar leven en werk al eens voorbijgekomen. Maar ditmaal staan graag eens wat langer stil bij deze bijzondere vrouw. Hiervoor hebben we te gast boekenhistoricus Marieke van Delft. Marieke werkte 42 jaar bij de Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag, waarbij ze van 2004 tot 2021 de functie conservator Oude Drukken vervulde. Zij promoveerde in 2014 op het proefschrift getiteld ‘Van wiegendruk tot world wide web, Bijzondere collecties en de vele geschiedenissen van het gedrukte boek'. Inmiddels heeft zij flink wat boeken en artikelen op haar naam staan. Samen met haar echtgenoot, en cartograaf Reinder Storm, schreef zij: ‘De geschiedenis van Nederland in 100 oude kaarten' (Uitgeverij Lannoo). Ook verzorgde en bezorgde zij in samenwerking met Uitgeverij Lannoo de heruitgave van enkele bijzondere collectiestukken van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek, zoals facsimile's van ‘Atlas de Wit', ‘De Nederlandsche Vogelen' en ‘Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium' van Maria Sibylla Merian. En Marieke werkte mee aan het boek ‘Maria Sibylla Merian: Changing the Nature of Art and Science' (2022), eveneens verschenen bij Uitgeverij Lannoo. Hiervoor schreef ze een hoofdstuk over Merian in Suriname en probeerde te achterhalen hoe Merian aan haar Surinaamse planten- en insectenkennis kwam. Timestamps: 00:00-01:46 – Introductie 01:46-10:04 – Marieke's werk bij de Koninklijke Bibliotheek. 10:04-13:32 – Eerste kennismaking met Maria Sibylla Merian 13:32-27:30 – Merians vroege jaren en wetenschappelijke interesse 27:30-39:00 – Merian bij de Labadisten, metamorfoseproces, verhuizing naar Amsterdam, wetenschappelijke kennissenkring en Merian als bekwame zakenvrouw 39:00-53:58 - Merians reis naar Suriname 53:58-01:03:04 – Slavernij in Suriname en Merians pauwenbloem 01:03:04-01:11:23 – Merians terugkeer uit Suriname naar Amsterdam, het drukproces en de verkoop van haar werk 01:11:23-01:18:30 – Tsaar Peter de Grote en Mariekes bezoek aan de Meriancollectie in St. Petersburg 01:18:30-01:20:33 – Een nieuw project met Uitgeverij Lannoo

I en tid då insekter ansågs uppstå spontant ur smuts var Maria Sibylla Merian en av de allra första att dokumentera metamorfosen. Hon var på 1600-talet en pionjär i att dokumentera och avbilda växter och insekter tillsammans och lade grunden för en ekologisk syn på naturen. Men hur gick hennes egen livsresa? Och hur använde sig Maria Sibylla Merian av konsten som ett sätt att förstå världen?

Hoy hablaremos de Maria Sibylla Merian la primer entomóloga que hizo ilustraciones de insectos y plantas de diferentes partes del mundo. Su tenaz espíritu y amor por la naturaleza la convirtieron en un icono y un ejemplo a seguir.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1621 Birth of Andrew Marvell, English poet and politician. He was a friend of John Milton. In addition to writing The Garden - one of the most famous English poems of the seventeenth century - he wrote this little garden verse: I have a garden of my own But so with Roses overgrown And Lilies, that you would it guess To be a little wilderness.   1824 Birth of Dietrich Brandis, German forester and botanist. He's remembered as the Father of Forestry in India, the Father of Modern Forest Management, and the Father of Tropical Forestry. Concerned about the unregulated destruction of the forests in India, the British wanted people in India to help manage and protect the trees. In 1856, Dietrich left his botany professorship in Bonn (where his father had been a professor) for a civil service position managing the teak forests in Burma. Eight years later, Dietrich was in charge of all the forests in India. In Carl Alwin Schenck's Birth of Forestry in America, there's a fascinating story about how Deitrich inventoried the Teak trees in the forest. [He rode] an elephant, on such trails as there were, with four sticks in his left hand and a pocketknife in his right. Whenever he saw in the bamboo thickets a teak tree within two hundred feet of his trail, he cut a notch in stick number 1, 2, 3, or 4, denoting the diameter of the tree. It was impossible for European hands, dripping with moisture, to carry a notebook. At the end of the day, after traveling some twenty miles, Brandis had collected forest stand data for a sample plot four hundred feet wide and twenty miles long, containing some nineteen hundred acres. He continued his cruise for a number of months, sick with malaria in a hellish climate. Moreover, he underwent a trepanning operation (brian surgery), and for the rest of his life, he carried a small hole filled with white cotton in the front of his skull. But he emerged from the cruise with the knowledge needed for his great enterprise. Dietrich established modern "sustainable" agroforestry principles that are still followed today. For two decades, Dietrich measured, itemized, and chronicled the forests of India. He started forest management schools and created training protocols for his employees. In 1878, Deitrich founded the Forest Research Institute in the Doon Valley in Dehradun. Styled in Greco Roman architecture, the building is beautiful and is the largest purely brick structure in the world. Sir Joseph Hooker recognized Deitrich's work and named the flowering-plant genus Brandisia in his honor.   1848 Birth of William Waldorf Astor, American-British attorney, politician, businessman (hotels and newspapers), and philanthropist. In 1891, a tall, shy William Waldorf Astor moved to Britain after declaring that "America is not a fit place for a gentleman to live." After over a decade living in England, William bought a run-down double-moated Hever Castle, which was Anne Boleyn's family home four hundred years earlier. Between 1904 and 1908, William oversaw the installation of the extensive gardens designed by Frank Pearson to surround the castle. William diverted water from a nearby river to make a 35-acre lake to make his vision a reality. It is said that eight hundred men hand-dug and stomped on the clay soil to make the bottom of the lake. Mature trees were harvested from Ashdown Forest and transplanted at Hever. Two mazes were installed. Topiary chessmen were pruned for the chess garden. Thousands of roses were brought in for the rose garden. But, the most impressive Garden at Hever was and is the Italian Garden, which features colonnades, classical sculptures, antiquities dating back to Roman times, and a loggia. There's also a long pergola on one end that features cool dripping fountains the entire length. Even today, it's staggering to think the whole project was completed in four short years.   1924 Birth of Leo Buscaglia, American author, motivational speaker, and professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Southern California. Leo believed education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness. Leo learned to Garden from his father, and he once wrote, To this day I cannot see a bright daffodil, a proud gladiola, or a smooth eggplant without thinking of Papa. Like his plants and trees, I grew up as a part of his garden. Leo was a self-help guru who preached love so much that he became known as "Dr. Love." He once wrote,  A single rose can be my garden; a single friend, my world. He also wrote, There are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Passions by Carolyne Roehm   This book came out in 2021 at the end of the year in December, and this is actually a collection of three books. All three books feature Carolyn's passions: flowers and gardens, feminine touch (which is all about how Carolyn loves to decorate), and furry friends, which of course, shares Carolyn's love of animals, especially her pups.  I have to say that I love the book sleeve for these books slip into because the artwork is reminiscent of Maria Sibylla Merian. Carolyn writes, I hope that this little trio of books about the joy that I found in flowers and gardening, feminine allure and feminine style and the love of furry friends delights and inspires you as it has me.  When I think about this book set, I think about it like a gift - a little book set to gift - so if you're looking for something special for yourself or a friend, this little set of books should be at the top of your list. The photography in all of these little books is absolutely stunning; it's all Carolyn Roehm. If you're a Carolyn Roehm fan, if you love her home in Connecticut or if you've watched any of her styling videos on YouTube, then you will immediately recognize the deeply saturated hues and the stunning compositions that she puts together with flowers and exquisite objects in her home. The balance of color, form, and architecture - all the incredible details that she pulls together - is just drop-dead gorgeous. This book is 240 pages of Carolyn Rome's passions - her favorite things - flowers and gardens, feminine allure and design,  and furry friends.  You can get a copy of Passions by Carolyne Roehm and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $34.   Botanic Spark 1962 On this day, a landscape worker hit a line connecting President Kennedy's White House to the Strategic Arms Command, the line vital to launching a nuclear attack. The project was led by Bunny Mellon, who was in charge of designing a new rose garden outside the President's office. Robert Kennedy once reflected on Bunny in the Garden, saying, Often during cabinet meetings, we would see her out there in the rose garden – a little figure with a bandana on her head.  One of Bunny's first tasks was to find a gardener to implement her designs. She selected a man named Irvin Williams, who was a government gardener at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. After Bunny brought him to the White House, he would stay on as the head gardener for almost fifty years. In early talks for the rose garden redesign, the Park Department voiced concerns about hitting underground lines. Bunny's plan called for large magnolia trees, which after some debate, were eventually ordered. But on this day, the underground line was cut during ground preparation. Bunny recalled that the problem was handled calmly and that she was never reprimanded. Bunny found the perfect magnolia trees for the White House over by the Tidal Basin overlooking the Jefferson Memorial. Once again, the Parks Department said "no" (due to costs). But Irvin Williams supported Bunny's idea, and he made arrangements to have the trees brought to the White House.  The roses included a yellow rose from the state of Texas called the Speaker Sam rose in honor of the late speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, a bright red variety from the World's Fair, a white rose name Frau Karl Druschki, and pink Doctor roses. Twenty-four days after the underground line was hit, the Garden, complete with magnolia trees and roses, was unveiled to the public. The updated rose garden was an instant success. The artist and friend of the Kennedys, William Walton, later wrote, [President Kennedy's] pleasure in that garden was infinite.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, Garden every day.

  Germany was still burning witches when Maria Sibylla Merian daringly filled her 17th-century home with spiders, moths, and all kinds of toxic plants. Bold choices saved her from accusations of witchcraft–and from a mundane life. Merian's fascination with metamorphosis led her all the way to the rainforests of South America, where she recorded countless new species, 130 years before Darwin! Our guest is Kim Todd, author of Chrysalis: Maria Sibylla Merian and the Secrets … The post THE NATURALIST Maria Sibylla Merian appeared first on What'shername.

Welcome to Season 2 of History for Nonmajors! This week Laura tells us the story of female naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian, who used her talent for art and love of science to teach the world about South American wildlife. For our media mention, we return to The Last Duel and discuss awkward movie moments. Sources Britannica Peacock, Martha Moffitt. "Maria Sibylla Merian & Daughters: Women of Art and Science."

Voor aflevering 30 van Radio Horzelnest hebben wij Hans Mulder te gast. Hans is historicus en conservator natuurlijke historie van de Artis Bibliotheek. In 2019 sloot de bibliotheek haar deuren voor een renovatie. Maar Hans bleef niet op zijn handen zitten en schreef het prachtige boek: ‘De ontdekking van de natuur', dat in 2020 verscheen bij Uitgeverij Terra Lannoo. Het werd bijzonder goed ontvangen en won onlangs de Jan Wolkers Prijs voor beste natuurboek van 2021! Het boek is een bundeling van twintig verhalen waarin Hans laat zien hoe in de loop der eeuwen onze kijk op de natuur is veranderd. De verhalen centreren zich rondom illustere namen uit de wetenschapsgeschiedenis, waaronder Conrad Gessner, Athanasius Kircher, Aldrovandi, Georg Everhard Rumphius, Maria Sibylla Merian. Ook passeren de nodige Nederlanders de revue, zoals Cornelius Nozeman en Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Elk hoofdstuk is bovendien geïllustreerd met wonderschone afbeeldingen uit de behandelde natuurhistorische werken. In deze aflevering praten we met Hans over enkele toonaangevende verhalen en figuren uit zijn boek. 00:00-03:32 – Inleiding 03:32-07:38 – Een korte geschiedenis van de Artisbibliotheek 07:38-13:56 – Het begrip ‘natuurhistorie', boekdrukkunst en microscopie 13:56-20:01 – De paradijsvogel 20:01-29:04 – De pelikaan en de draak 29:04-35:53 – De natuurwetenschappelijke methode 35:53-42:04 – Spontane generatie 42:04-52:14 – Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 52:14-01:07:30 – Maria Sybilla Merian 01:07:30-01:21:53 – Charles Darwin 01:21:53-01:32:44 – Seksuele selectie

Maria Sibylla Merian gilt als Wegbereiterin der modernen Insektenkunde. In Surinam beobachtete und zeichnete sie die Metamorphose der Schmetterlinge.

Dans la chronique je vous invite à découvrir le parcours extraordinaire de Maria Sibylla Merian, peintre naturaliste allemande qui a décrit en détail la métamorphose de la chenille au papillon et qui est allée, non accompagnée, peindre les insectes du Suriname, au XVIIe siècle ! Et nous poursuivons dans l'interview, notre entretien avec Brian Aïello, taxidermiste au muséum de Toulouse, qui nous parle des techniques de son métier et du rôle de sensibilisation de ses spécimens naturalisés. On évoquera aussi Cannelle, la dernière ourse de souche pyrénéenne, sur laquelle il a travaillé ! On finit bien entendu avec quelques conseils lecture. Bonne écoute !

Some women you haven't heard of who made significant contributions to science.

Before the sixteenth century, bugs and other creepy-crawlies could be found in the margins of manuscripts. Over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, insects crawled their way to the center of books, paintings, and other media of natural history illustration. Janice Neri‘s wonderful book charts this transformation in the practices of depicting insects through the early modern period. Inspired by the archaeology of Foucault but using an approach that spans the history of science, art history, and visual studies, The Insect and the Image: Visualizing Nature in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1700 (University of Minnesota Press, 2011) identifies a “specimen logic” through which images of insects were removed from their habitats, decontextualized, and mobilized into networks of regional and global exchange and circulation. Part I of the book traces the emergence of insects as subject matter for artistic representation, looking in turn at the work of Joris Hoefnagel, Ulisse Aldrovandi, Thomas Moffet, and still-life painters from 1580-1620. The choices made by these artists contributed to the transformation of ideas about nature as controllable and commodifiable. Part II shifts our attention to the later seventeenth century, and considers how the work of artists such as Robert Hooke and Maria Sibylla Merian helped visualize insects (as well as their own professional identities) anew across several media. Neri's work urges us to reconsider some common binaries that tend to characterize thinking and writing about images in history: art/science, professional/amateur, image/object.
