99-piece mini puzzle from Penny Puzzle titled Hummingbird Garden by Robert John Thornton
About Robert John Thornton's flower paintings
Robert John Thornton (1768–1837) was an English physician, botanist, and publisher, best known for The Temple of Flora – one of the most famous botanical works ever created. Thornton wished to unite science, art, and poetry, portraying the beauty and wonder of nature through a series of unique floral portraits.
Unlike traditional botanical illustrations, Thornton’s flowers were placed in dramatic landscapes filled with mood and symbolism. Roses bloom under romantic skies, tulips stand proudly in sweeping landscapes, and the famous Night-Blooming Cereus unfolds in the moonlight at the very moment it blossoms. The unique images united botanical accuracy with the artistic expression of Romanticism.
The Temple of Flora was created between 1799 and 1807 and became one of the most lavish flower books of its time. Although the project ended up ruining Thornton financially, his magnificent floral plates are today considered masterpieces of botanical illustration and continue to inspire garden lovers, artists, and nature enthusiasts around the world.
