The idea of this series is to combine a famous painting with a portrait of its artist. The 2024 edition is dedicated to Auguste Noire, considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time.
He is shown in portrait in the foreground of his masterpiece “The Skiff”, a beautiful painting that resides at the National Gallery in London and drawing visitors from all around the world.
On this ultra-high relief 2 oz proof, the artist himself poses in front of his masterpiece. Thanks to the enhanced smartminting® technology and precision color application, the amazing visual feel of oil on canvas is achieved.
