Netherlands / Holland: 'Still Life with Flowers'. Oil on panel painting by Hans Bollongier (fl. 1623-1672), 1639, featuring the tulip 'Semper Augustus', star bloom of the 'Tulipomania' phenomenon. Tulip mania or tulipomania (Dutch names include: tulpenmanie, tulpomanie, tulpenwoede, tulpengekte and bollengekte) was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for bulbs of the recently introduced tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed.
