The “Brandenburger” is a enchantingly beautiful tulip, with bright yellow petals adorned with ruby-red stripes.
This artistic image has also been captured by the renowned flower painter Jacob Marrel, whose sensitivity and attention to detail perfectly captured the vibrancy of this tulip.
It seems that the name ‘Brandenburger’ refers to the German region of Brandenburg, which in the 17th century was an independent duchy within the Holy Roman Empire. Although the Tulipmania was primarily a Dutch phenomenon, there were growers throughout Europe who were involved in the cultivation of these beautiful flowers. It is therefore possible that the “Brandenburger” was named by a German grower from that region.
Brandenburg is now a state in Germany, with Berlin as a separate enclave. This region, rich in history and culture, plays an important role in the heart of Europe and is a fitting tribute for a tulip of such beauty.
The theme of the 99 NFT tulips for the “Brandenburger” is ‘Brandenburg’, a nod to tulip cultivation outside the Netherlands and the universal admiration for these striking flowers. The physical painting is the inspiration for the NFT tulips.
