Famous Artists - Gustav Klimt:
Scandalous, outrageous, but also tempting and compelling
- such is the work of painter Gustav Klimt. The Czech Mint published a gold
half-ounce commemorative coin, which is a part of a free cycle dedicated to the
greatest narrators of world history on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of
the master's death and the 110th anniversary of his most famous painting called "The Kiss".
Vienna in the end of the 19th century was a fascinating
place of contradictions, the centre of progressive thoughts and Freud's
teachings on human sexuality, but also the capital of European tradition and
conservative views.
Gifted Austrian painter Gustav Klimt was similarly
controversial.
At the beginning of his career he recognised the principles of
academic painting and Emperor Franz Joseph I even awarded him the Golden cross
for merit.
But then his artistic vision changed completely.
Passionate and irritating
woman became the main motive of avant-garde paintings full of decadent
feelings, eroticism, mysticism and ecstasy.
This is how the masterpieces of "Judith", "The three periods of life of woman, Danae, Adel, Virgo" and, above all,
the unforgettable "Kiss" of two lovers on the blooming meadow were created.
The Gold Coin:
The Reverse side of the $25 (Twenty Five Dollars - NZD) Coin made by gifted young medal
maker Irena Hradecká, DiS. was dedicated to portrait of a thoughtful artist
surrounded by avant-garde decorative elements and Art Nouveau inscription of "GUSTAV KLIMT".
The Obverse side of the $25 (Twenty Five Dollars - NZD) Coin is dominated by the central scene from the image
of the Kiss.
It incorporates the attributes of Niue Island, which is the coin
issuer. Since the coins of the Czech Mint are based on this foreign license,
they carry the portrait and the name of Queen Elizabeth II, the nominal value
of "25 DOLLARS (NZD)" and the year of the issue "2018".
An integral part of each coin is a Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) that reminds the personality of Gustav Klimt and his most famous
works.
