EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century illustration is Plate 2 from Maria Sibylla Merian's groundbreaking work, "Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium," published in 1705. The illustration depicts the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus, in its full glory, with a ripe pineapple at the center, surrounded by its characteristic bromeliad leaves. The plate also features the intricate life cycle of the Philaethria dido, a beautiful and vibrant butterfly commonly known as the Pineapple Longwing. The illustration captures the butterfly in its various stages of transformation: a caterpillar crawling on the pineapple leaves, a chrysalis attached to the stem, and the adult butterfly in flight, its wings spread wide, displaying their striking iridescent colors. Merian's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the butterfly's anatomy, as well as the textures and patterns of the pineapple and its leaves. Merian's work was revolutionary for its time, as she was one of the first naturalists to document the metamorphosis of insects from egg to adult. Her illustrations were not only scientifically accurate but also aesthetically pleasing, making them valuable not only to scientists but also to collectors and art enthusiasts. This plate is a testament to Merian's dedication to documenting the natural world and her innovative approach to scientific illustration.
