Philip Miller (Born 1691) was an artist, a botanist and horticulturist from Scotland. He worked at the Chelsea Physic Garden and published his renowned Gardeners Dictionary through which his expertise was made widely available. The dictionary was published in editions from 1731 to 1768. Miller had a unique style of representing his plants. They were so realistic and were presented in their natural habitat. He also taught botany and his students went on to establish the botanic gardens of Cambridge and Kew. Gardeners Dictionary covered methods of cultivation, and also provided a systematic botanical compendium of all cultivated and wild-growing plants that were known by then in Britain. Miller shared about 50 specimens with Carl Linnaeus, and also passed on many seeds from South America to George Clifford in the Netherlands. He also gathered together a herbarium of plants from all over the world. Miller’s passion for plants was marched only by his love for the outdoors. He unleashed his creativity through the impulsive quality of his approach, making the process of painting as important as the final product. His paintings captured the essence of himself and all that he has observed in the world. He carefully used colors to depict his plants in their natural habitat. His personal herbarium is now part of the Natural History Museum herbarium in London (BM) after being sold to Joseph Banks. His work has been collected and exhibited internationally. Miller completed many projects. And today, framed Philip Miller art can be found in many academic institutions. He died in 1771.
