Pearlescent pinks. Fresh fuchsias. Grassy greens. The Two Tulips & Irma Boom DNA 03 tote bag is representational on one side, abstract on the other. It’s same, same but totally different with Irma Boom’s modern take on Jacob Marrel’s 17th century masterpiece. © Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

Delicate Dragonflies. Beguiling butterflies. Flowers full of meaning. Jacob Marrel, the 17th century German painter, lived in Utrecht during the Dutch Golden Age and studied with Jan Davidsz de Heem. Marrel is best known for his wonderful watercolours of tulips in bloom – Tulipomania.
