Within the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, there are five tulips that have lost their original names. Over time, these names have faded into oblivion.
These five tulips, chosen for their beauty, represent the countless tulip varieties whose names have been lost since the Tulipmania of the 17th century.
However, history has a way of repeating itself and finding new meaning: these nameless tulips have been given new names.
The tulip that was once known in the collection as “Zonder naam III, in English Nameless III” now bears the name “Luminous Whirl”. This refers to a flower that illuminates and creates an enchanting whirlpool of colors and light.
For the “Nameless III, Luminous Whirl”, the theme of the 99 NFT tulips in various art styles is ‘vertigo’. The portrait of the “Nameless III“ from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as inspiration for the tulip NFTs.
