Drie meerkleurige tulpensoorten 1617

Crispijn van de Passe the Younger's 1617 etching "Drie meerkleurige tulpensoorten" (Three multicoloured tulips) is a detailed botanical illustration that captures the beauty and variety of tulip flowers. The three different tulip varieties are depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing the intricate patterns and shapes of their petals and leaves. The work reflects the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with scientific illustration and the celebration of nature's beauty. The print exemplifies the detailed approach of this genre, and its careful depiction of the tulip varieties is both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically accurate. This artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
