Ernst Haeckel Orchid 1000

Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was a German biologist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest oceans. He created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes. Haeckel’s works are as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution.
