"De Vroege Visco Roy" tulip painted by Judith Jans Leyster (1609-1660) was a Dutch painter during Tulip mania in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then dramatically collapsed. "Broken" tulips have a viral infection, that caused the petals to show beautiful and striking streaks of color in them, noticed by the Flemish botanist Carolus Clusius, father of the Dutch obsession with tulips, in the Netherlands in the 1600’s.
