When Jan Breughel completed this painting, tulips were a fairly new phenomenon in Europe. They were brought in from Turkey and only began to be cultivated in Europe in the late 16th Century. They went on to become so highly prized that at the height of 'tulipmania' a single bulb would have cost far more than one of these flower paintings.
