The “Tulipa van der Marrel” is inspired by the renowned painter Jacob van der Marrel, paying homage to this artist from the Dutch Golden Age.
This tulip, ‘Van der Marrel’, like the flower still lifes of its namesake, is a beautiful mix of color and form.
Jacob van der Marrel was known for his careful and detailed still lifes, often featuring tulips as the main subject. During the Tulipmania, when the price of tulip bulbs in the Netherlands skyrocketed, Van der Marrel captured the beauty of these highly desired flowers.
Despite the eventual crash of the tulip market, Van der Marrel’s paintings remained sought after and a lasting reminder of this unique period in Dutch history.
The theme of the 99 NFT tulips for the “Tulipa van der Marrel” is ‘butterflies and caterpillars’, inspired by the masterful technique and attention to detail of Van der Marrel. The portrait of the “Tulipa van der Marrel” from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as inspiration for the tulip NFTs.
