Botanical masterpiece of intricate symmetry, the Blue Passion Flower is suspended against a dark, moody landscape of crumbling ruins and a distant, moonlit sky. Thornton captures the flower’s complex corona and central filaments with startling clarity, imbuing the delicate, radial bloom with a sense of divine mystery and architectural elegance. The name Passion Flower was given by 15th-century Spanish missionaries who saw the flower’s unique parts as symbols of the Passion of Christ, ten petals representing the faithful apostles and the central filaments representing the crown of thorns.
