Taxonomy
editIn Italy, it was commonly known as the 'Red Tulip of Bologne'.[9]
The specific epithet agenensis, refers to the French town of Agen, where a wild colony of the tulips were found.[9]
T. agenensis was originally described and published by Pierre-Joseph Redouté in his painted series 'Les Liliacées' Vol.1 in February 1804.[10][11]
Culture
editA painting by the Dutch artist Jacob de Gheyn II, 'Vase of Flowers with a Curtain' in 1615, has several tulips including a hybrid Tulipa hungarica crossed with Tulipa agenensis. While Osias Beert I painting Flowers in a glass vase in a niche (undated but c.1606), also has several tulips including the Red tulip, Tulipa agenensis.[8]
