MARIA SYBILIA MERIAN SEA-LIFE ENGRAVINGS [SET 6] Circa 1800

About the Item

Set of Six Exquisite Sea Life Engravings by Maria Sybilla Merian, Circa 1800 – From G.E. Rumphius, Amsterdam A remarkable and rare set of six sea life engravings, meticulously etched and engraved by the renowned artist Maria Sybilla Merian. Dating back to circa 1800, these pieces were created as part of the extraordinary collaboration with G.E. Rumphius in Amsterdam. Known for her pioneering studies of natural history, Merian's work in botanical and zoological illustration is widely celebrated, and these stunning engravings reflect her unparalleled ability to capture the intricate beauty of marine life. The prints in this collection depict a diverse array of sea creatures, each rendered with a delicate yet precise hand, showcasing Merian's keen attention to detail and deep understanding of the natural world. From gracefully swimming fish to intricate crustaceans, each print is imbued with a sense of life and motion that is truly extraordinary. The fine craftsmanship and striking contrasts make them an outstanding example of early 19th-century naturalist art. Framed with exceptional care and taste, the prints are presented in elegantly crafted frames, designed to complement the richness of the engravings while providing a sophisticated and timeless display. Whether hung as a set or arranged in a dynamic group placement, these engravings create an arresting visual impact. This unique set of seven beautifully etched and engraved pieces is nearly impossible to find in such pristine condition, making it an exceptional acquisition for discerning collectors.
