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, selected 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 known in the collection as “Zonder naam V, in English Nameless V” is now called “Mystical Silence”. This name evokes an atmosphere of mystery and silence, akin to the intriguing quietude and allure of “Lochertje”.
Therefore, the theme of the 99 NFTs for the tulip “Nameless V” from the ‘physical Ninetynine Tulips collection’, is ‘mystical silence’. The physical painting is the inspiration for the tulip NFTs.
