Indian Reed
Artist: Robert Thornton
Circa: 1812

Dr. Robert John Thornton, famed for his monumental botanical series The Temple of Flora (1799–1812), created some of the most celebrated flower plates in the history of botanical illustration. Indian Reed (1812) presents a striking scarlet bloom rising dramatically before a mountainous landscape. Combining scientific accuracy with painterly drama, Thornton elevated botany into high art, making his works equally treasured by scientists, collectors, and lovers of natural beauty.
