About The Artist
Dorothea Maria Graff (1678–1743), another brilliant daughter of Maria Merian, followed in her mother's footsteps with a brush dipped in both talent and tenacity. Her contributions to botanical art were more than just images; they were lifelines to a world that often overlooked the intellectual prowess of women. Her legacy endures in the vivid, lifelike depictions that continue to inspire awe and appreciation, echoing a silent rebellion against the confines of her era.
