They are also distinguished by the number of seeds embedded in the soft pulp. Merian writes that a form she has not illustrated does not taste as good and contains too many seeds. The fruits of this tropical American member of the myrtle family with many seeds are made into preserves (guava cheese) and jelly, while the others are eaten in raw state. The moth, Sphinx du tabac (Manduca sexta), displayed with it caterpillar and pupa, on the left, uses the guava as a food plant. We see how with its long proboscis it sucks nectar from a blossom before which it hovers in flight. The caterpillar, placed by Merian on one of the lower twigs, pupates in the ground. The wooly-haired megalopygid caterpillar, with the yellow cocoon depicted above it, belongs to the Flannel moth Megalopygidae gen. spec.), a typical American family of lepidotera which chiefly inhabits the tropical regions of South America. The Brazilians call it the \"fire animal\" or \"rat-animal\", while the Indians of Paraguay name it the \"jaguar-worm\". These names refer to its dangerous poisonous hairs, its speed and its coloring. The poison of these caterpillars paralyzes for several weeks. Even the slightest touch is sufficient to cause stinging pains, swelling, fever and paralysis lasting several days. Merian knew the effect of the poisonous hairs, but still attempted to breed the creatures- a process that is still regarded as difficult. The tachina flies, or \"evil flies\", pictured above the white guava specimen, tended to attack these caterpillars. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34961677709,"sku":"","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/8894\/products\/Plate_57_6e173df5-1827-4570-b8a8-f4082a2dfecb.jpg?v=1490649158"},{"product_id":"maria-sibylla-merian-sophora-plate-35","title":"Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), Sophora, Plate 35","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSophora, Plate 35\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom \u003cem\u003eDissertatio de Generatione et Metamorphosibus Insectorum Surinamensium \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Amsterdam, J.

The Sophora plant, at the time of Merian, was something of a mystery. She described it as \"a wild tree whose spherical fruits hang seven or eight to a stalk like beads on a rosary\". However, to this day the species is not absolutely certain. The large reddish caterpillar named the Brassolis was first found by Merian on this tree, and she claims to have found similar specimens later on coconut palm leaves. Merian observed that during the day these caterpillars would retire into close-spun ochre-colored nests almost half a cubit long, coming out to seek food at night. However, as the scientif name Brassolis sophorae suggests, they are associated with the sophora rather than the coconut palm, which incidentally Merian does not reproduce, partly because it has been sufficiently  described by others, and partly because it seemed too big. The associated butterfly belongs to the typically South American family of Brassolidae, and does not fly during the day but at dusk and at night. Merian also found the smaller caterpillar of leucothyrics eagle on the saphora.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34962339725,"sku":"","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/8894\/products\/Plate_35.jpg?v=1490649823"},{"product_id":"maria-sibylla-merian-the-slaaperties-plant-plate-32","title":"Maria Sibylla Merian, The Slaaperties Plant, Plate 32","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaria Sibylla Merian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Slaaperties Plant, Plate 32\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom \u003cem\u003eDissertatio de Generatione et Metamorphosibus Insectorum Surinamensium \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Amsterdam, J.

This specimen closely resembles the Pale Tussock moth (Calliteara pudibunda, formerly Dasychira pudibunda), specifically the female, which is notably larger and paler than the male. Native across much of Europe, including the Netherlands, it inhabits deciduous woodland and hedgerows. Its larvae feed on a wide range of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and hop, making it familiar to any attentive observer of the Dutch countryside in the seventeenth century. Shown here with its forewings broad and spread wide, painted in a palette of buff, pale cream, and warm gray, overlaid with fine brown mottling and darker transverse banding. The wingtips carry pronounced dark chestnut patches, lending the wings a tattered, bark-like quality. Above the thorax, what appear to be raised hindwings or prominent dorsal tufts fan outward in a pale, almost scalloped arrangement, giving the insect an unusually theatrical silhouette.

This specimen’s coloring is consistent with a moth from the Noctua genus, most plausibly the Large Yellow Underwing (Noctua pronuba), one of the most abundant noctuids across Europe and a thoroughly common inhabitant of gardens, meadows, and woodland edges throughout the Netherlands. The vivid hindwing coloration, concealed at rest and revealed in flight, was long thought to startle predators, a behavioral adaptation that would have been of keen interest to naturalist-collectors of the period. Drawn with its forewings a rich gray-brown with intricate darker mottling and subtle transverse lines, evoking the look of tree bark or weathered stone. The most striking feature is the hindwing, which peeks from beneath the forewing at each lower corner in bold patches of warm ochre and burnt amber. The thorax is golden-brown, and the antennae are rendered as two delicate filiform threads curving upward toward the upper moth’s legs, creating an incidental diagonal axis that animates the otherwise static composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWithoos may have intended the two specimens as a male-female pair of the same species rather than two entirely distinct moths. The Pale Tussock moth exhibits pronounced sexual dimorphism, with females significantly larger, paler, and broader-winged. The upper moth’s greater size and paler coloring would be consistent with the female, and the lower moth’s darker, more compact appearance could represent the male. This pairing convention was common in seventeenth-century entomological illustration, where artists sought to document both sexes for completeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the context of the Dutch Golden Age, insects occupied a surprisingly elevated cultural position. The explosion of trade, the establishment of the VOC and WIC, and the circulation of exotic specimens through Amsterdam’s markets created an intense appetite for natural curiosities. Cabinets of curiosities (Wunderkammern and kunstkamers) filled with pinned insects, shells, minerals, and dried specimens were markers of wealth, learning, and cosmopolitan taste. Butterflies and moths were among the most sought-after items, prized both for their visual beauty and for the symbolic freight they carried: the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into the winged adult was a well-worn emblem of the soul’s transformation and resurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile the gaudy tropical butterflies imported from Suriname and the East Indies commanded the highest prices, European species were by no means without value.

Working primarily in Amsterdam and Utrecht during the final decades of the seventeenth century, he brought to the intimate format of the collector’s album a degree of technical precision that set him apart from many contemporaries working in the same vein. Withoos died at approximately thirty-eight years of age, leaving a body of work that, though relatively modest in extent, stands as a testament to the extraordinary standard of natural history illustration then flourishing in the Dutch Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWithoos came of age during a moment of intense intersection between art and natural science. The Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC, the Dutch East India Company) continuously delivered exotic plants, birds, and insects from the Far East, the Americas, and beyond into Amsterdam, feeding a voracious appetite for collecting among the Republic’s wealthy merchant class. Botanical gardens in Amsterdam and Leiden cultivated rare species, while private collectors maintained their own gardens and cabinets of curiosities and commissioned artists to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003edocument them.

His father, Matthias Withoos (1627–1703), was a formidably educated artist who had studied first under the architect-painter Jacob van Campen (1595–1657) at his school at Randenbroeck outside Amersfoort, and subsequently under Otto Marseus van Schrieck (1619\/20–1678), the celebrated pioneer of the sottobosco (“forest floor”) genre, whose darkly lit compositions of reptiles, insects, and plants among tangled undergrowth became a touchstone for natural history painters of the period. When French troops occupied Amersfoort during the Rampjaar (Disaster Year) of 1672, the family relocated to Hoorn. Pieter subsequently lived in Utrecht through the 1680s before settling in Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrom the late 1680s, Pieter’s most significant patron was Agnes Block (1629–1704), one of the most remarkable figures in Dutch horticultural and artistic history. Known throughout the Republic as “Flora Batava” (the Dutch Flora), Block was a prosperous Mennonite botanist, horticulturalist, and art collector who transformed her country estate, Vijverhof, on the River Vecht, southeast of Amsterdam, into a celebrated botanical garden. There she cultivated rare and exotic species obtained through the VOC’s global trade networks, and in 1687 she became the first European to grow a pineapple to fruit outside its native habitat. To document the extraordinary specimens in her garden, Block commissioned more than four hundred watercolors, assembling them into her celebrated Bloemenboek (Flower Book), a folio album that served simultaneously as a catalog and as an assertion of her identity as a serious naturalist. Among the artists she retained were Maria Sibylla Merian, Johannes Bronkhorst, Herman Henstenburgh, and both Pieter and his sister Alida Withoos. Block required artists of the highest technical precision: her watercolors were intended as permanent scientific and artistic records of living specimens that were ephemeral, rare, or impossible to preserve in any other form. Both Pieter and Alida had the opportunity to work directly with the exotic birds and plants at Vijverhof, including species introduced to Holland by the VOC. The estate’s renown as a center of artistic and scientific life was celebrated by Block’s cousin Gualtherus Blok in his poem Vyver-hof van Agneta Blok, an encomium to Vijverhof that attests to the estate’s singular position within Dutch cultural life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWithoos worked almost exclusively in watercolor, a medium particularly suited to capturing the luminous translucency of flower petals and the iridescent shimmer of insect wings.

This butterfly species is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, specifically found in northwestern India, southwestern China, northern Thailand, Vietnam, and southern Burma.

The type specimen of Papilio paris is held at the Natural History Museum in London and interestingly, it has lost all of its blue and green coloration. Linnaeus often drew inspiration from Greek mythology when naming butterfly species; in this case, “paris” refers to Paris, the Trojan prince who, according to mythology, sparked the Trojan War by abducting Helen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 18th century, it was often challenging to ascribe a species type to certain insects. This difficulty arose for several reasons; the exchange of insect specimens took long periods, during which the coloration of their wings could change. Additionally, insect species were traded through complex networks spanning multiple regions, leading to common errors in recording or labeling their places of origin. As a result, collectors and painters sometimes paired incorrect flora and fauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecies of Indian flora and fauna were rare in the English collections that Ehret frequented. More often, he depicted species from American colonial flora and fauna. It is possible that he thought he was portraying the colonial species Papilio troilus (the spicebush swallowtail butterfly), which shares very similar markings. This distinction can be tricky, as the drawing lacks the distinctive green spots and coloring typically seen in several species of Papilio paris; these green features are not characteristic of the spicebush swallowtail butterfly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease feel free to contact us with questions by phone at 215.735.8811,\u003cbr\u003eor by email at \u003ca href=\"mailto:loricohen@aradergalleries.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eloricohen@aradergalleries.\u003cwbr\u003ecom\u003c\/wbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31568032727101,"sku":"","price":24000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/8894\/products\/ehret_butterflies.jpg?v=1582650901"},{"product_id":"italian-butterfly-and-insect-collection-a-collection-of-4-albums-of-entomological-specimens-assembled-by-an-italian-amateur","title":"ITALIAN BUTTERFLY AND INSECT COLLECTION.
