She married a surgeon from Heidelberg, Philip Hendriks, a few months later on 2 December 1701.[3] Dorothea moved in with her mother where they ran a business selling her mother's prints and paintings.[3] The couple had a child who died young.[3] Johanna moved with her husband to Surinam in 1711 and in the same year Dorothea's husband died and Dorothea took on her mother's name Merian, possibly for business reasons.[3] In 1713 mother and daughter published Der rupsen begin, voedsel en wonderbaare veranderingen, followed by the second volume in 1714. Though her daughters are not mentioned by name, both Johanna and Dorothea probably contributed to the plates. In 1714 mother Maria had a stroke that partially paralysed her and Johanna returned for a visit from Surinam, painting under her mother's name and working on volume three. In 1715 Dorothea remarried, this time to the widowed Swiss painter Georg Gsell, who had recently divorced his second wife and had previously lodged with Dorothea and her mother. Gsell had been living in Amsterdam since 1704 and had five daughters from his first marriage, including Katharina, the later wife of the mathematician Leonhard Euler.[2] From Surinam, Johanna continued to supply her sister with insects and other supplies. In 1717, after her mother died in January, Dorothea published the third volume of her mother's Der Rupsen Begin.[3] Works by the house of Merian were purchased by Zacharias Conrad von Uffenbach, Pieter Teyler van der Hulst, and Robert Areskin. Pieter the Great asked the Gsell-Merian couple to come work for him, and they did, first selling all of mother Maria's work that they could. In October 1717 Georg Gsell became court painter in Saint Petersburg and Dorothea became a teacher at the Petrus Academie of Science, and curator of the natural history collection Kunstkamera (which included her own work). In 1736 she returned to Amsterdam to purchase works by her mother for the collection. She died in Saint Petersburg.[3] Further readingTodd, Kim.
