Jan van Huysum (1682-1749) was a renowned Dutch painter known for his detailed flower still lifes featuring tulips.
He was a master at capturing the fragility and transience of flowers, and his works radiate an almost unreal beauty and vibrancy.
The tulip “Tulipa Huysum” pays homage to this great artist. The name of this 17th-century tulip reflects the admiration for Van Huysum and his ability to capture the beauty of nature.
The theme for the 99 “Tulipa Huysum” NFTs, in several art styles, is ‘houses’, a reference not only to the painter’s surname but also to the historical context in which his works prominently adorned the homes of the affluent bourgeoisie. The portrait of the Tulipa Huysum serves as inspiration for the ‘Huysum’ NFT tulips.
