Framed Yellow Tulip Paintings
Nowadays, Holland is known worldwide for being the main producer of units, but few know that the flower was introduced to Europe by the Turks six centuries ago. FramedArt.com has an ample collection dedicated to the flower, with the framed yellow Tulip prints being particularly impressive.
The flower was cultivated in Persia in the 10th century and apparently it was immensely popular with the Turks, as it became widespread during the Ottoman Empire.
The framed yellow Tulip prints focus on the sheer beauty of the flowers, but also feature seemingly endless tulip gardens. They were cultivated in this way by Ottoman sultans who brought them to their palaces from all parts of the globe. Even back then, many were imported from the Netherlands, which emerged as one of the main suppliers of these beautiful plants. Tulips were gradually introduced to Europe and the Moors cultivated the flower extensively for ornamental purposes.
The framed yellow Tulip prints brilliantly capture the delicate nature of this flower, which was also a frequent topic in Persian poems. Back then, offering such a gift was a token of appreciation and also a declaration of love, something that hasn’t changed over all the centuries. The flower has made a resurgence in modern poems, with Simin Behbahani and other authors evoking tulips and assigning special significations to them. It used to be regarded as a symbol of indulgence and abundance, being often associated with good or carefree times.
