Pontic Rhododendron - Robert John Thornton iPhone Case

Robert John Thornton, born in 1768, was an English physician and botanical artist best known for his monumental work, "The Temple of Flora."

Educated at Cambridge, Thornton's passion for botany led him to create a collection that blended scientific precision with Romantic artistry. His magnum opus, part of "New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus," features exotic flora set against dramatic backdrops, transforming botanical illustration into high art.

Despite financial setbacks that curtailed his ambitious vision, Thornton's vivid engravings continue to captivate, standing as a testament to the intersection of science, art, and 18th-century horticultural passion.
