In this work, the painter Hendrick Pot made fun of an extraordinary phenomenon in Haarlem’s history – the speculation in tulip bulbs.

 

The painting was made around 1640, shortly after the collapse of the speculative trade in tulips. The flower goddess Flora, under a flag adorned with tulips and holding three of the valuable blooms in her hand, is enthroned in her chariot, depicted here as a wagon of fools. Three men wearing fools’ caps on their heads ride with her. Leckebardt (gluttony) cannot keep off the drink, Graegrijk (avarice) holds a bag of money and Liegwagen (loose talk), with a bell in his hand, tells his empty tales. 

 

The wagon is followed by a group of Haarlem weavers. They have abandoned their work, and walk behind the wagon.
