The Vexed Man, a captivating alabaster bust sculpted by German artist Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, embodies the artist’s mastery of capturing raw human emotion. This famous sculpture is now captured in this 2 ounce ultra high relief silver proof coin from Cook Islands and Coin Invest Trust. Crafted in the late 18th century, it portrays a deeply anguished and tormented expression. Messerschmidt’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of furrowed brows, tense muscles, and tightly clenched lips, all indicating a sense of inner turmoil.
