Description from the Chicago Botanic Garden Sculpture archive copy at the Wayback Machine page:
Carolus Linnaeus
Robert Berks, American (b. 1922)
Bronze, 1982
Heritage Garden, Chicago Botanic Garden
A gift from Mrs. Arthur C. Nielsen, Sr.
This figure of Swedish physician Linnaeus (1701-1778) looms large in the history of science and is appropriately placed in the Heritage Garden. Linnaeus established binomial nomenclature, the international system of naming plants and animals that is still in use today.
He is shown reaching eagerly toward the plants in his path with a collector’s enthusiasm. The prominent bird in the sculpture — a golden plover, which can fly for thousands of miles — refers to the many students of Linnaeus who traveled the globe collecting plants for him to name.
