No 19. Alexander Magnus

The 17th-century tulip “Alexander Magnus” is named after Alexander the Great, the renowned king and military strategist from antiquity.

During the Tulipmania, tulips were named after various individuals and things considered prestigious or desirable.

“Alexander the Great” is a historical figure who left a lasting impact on the world by establishing a vast empire stretching from Greece to Egypt and far into Asia. He was a visionary leader, renowned for his tactical brilliance and his ability to unite diverse cultures under a single empire.

The portrait of the tulip depicts the flower, with pink to red stripes, swaying in the wind.

The portrait of the “Alexander Magnus”, from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as the inspiration for the tulip NFT collections. The theme of the 99 ‘Alexander’ NFT tulips is ‘Alexander the Great’.
