SUMMARY:Art Talks for Older Adults: Tulipmania and Dutch Flower Painting
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take a look at the events of the 1630s when speculators 
 drove up the prices of tulip bulbs to dizzying heights. The development of 
 Dutch flower painting and the phenomenon known as “tulipmania” share 
 the same root causes in 17th century Netherlands\; that is\, an interest in 
 objects of great appeal and rarity\, whether just for their beauty or their 
 scientific notoriety. But what was really happening and has it been 
 overblown in history? We will discover where the practice of flower 
 painting began for the Dutch\, in response to the value of live flowers\; a 
 practice of painting beautiful still lives that continues today.
