Robert John Thornton (1768–1837) imagined botanical illustration on an almost theatrical scale. His Temple of Flora brought flowers, atmosphere and natural history together in plates that feel less like diagrams than staged visions.

This artist archive brings together Thornton works selected for their botanical richness, dramatic composition and enduring presence as fine-art prints.
