Canada 2017 En Plein Air Art $20 x 3 Coins Unique Silver Proof Set Perfect
CANADIAN ART - EN PLEIN AIR. SPRINGTIME GIFTS, MERITIME MEMORIES, AND A PADDLE AWAITS. FULL SET OF 3 COINS IN INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION CASES. Imagine coming upon a setting so inspiring, it leaves you yearning to preserve the splendor of that particular moment in time - that is the essence of painting en plein air, where nature serves as both muse and studio, allowing the artist to render their soul-stirring view directly onto the canvas. This three-coin series combines new technologies (texturized color, and canvas effect) to re-create the experience, complete with textured brushstrokes!
The end result is an ode to the beauty of nature, and a visual reproduction of a moment that rouses the spirit. Masterfully combined for a true-to-life viewing experience, each of these extra-thin and extra-large coins uses texturized color to raise some of the elements (like the easel-mounted canvas) and provide a sense of depth to the design, while canvas effect adds life-like texture to the painting! The obverse of each coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Each coin is housed in RCM's maroon clamshell presentation case, packaged in RCM's standard black beauty box, and comes with its own serialized COA.
This unique set of 3 beautiful coins is sure to brighten up a numismatic art enthusiasts. The 3 coins in this set include. Springtime Gifts : Designed by Canadian artist Elizabeth Sim, the first coin in this series creates an immersive viewing experience by blurring the line between reality and perception. Stretching across the entire reverse, the borderless background image offers a photo-realistic close-up of a flowerbed - specifically one that showcases several Canada 150 tulips in full bloom. In contrast, the easel-mounted canvas in the foreground is positioned in a way that suggests the viewer is in fact the artist, as the eye naturally lingers on the finished painting of the white and red-flamed tulip. This simulation of a plein air painting experience is further enhanced by the integration of two advanced technologies: texturized color, which gives the design its sense of depth and dimension by subtly raising the easel and canvas; and canvas effect, which artfully adds a touch of realism by mimicking the surface textures of a finished painting - including the artist's brushstrokes. Maritime Memories : The reverse design by Elizabeth Sim captures the beauty, tranquility and spirit of a maritime setting in Atlantic Canada on the second coin of the set. Stretching across the entire reverse, the borderless background image creates an immersive viewing experience by drawing the viewer into the setting; one can almost feel the warmth of sunshine and the smell of sea salt in the air as the eye takes in the weathered buildings and fishing boats. Texturized color separates the easel-mounted canvas from its true-to-life surroundings, seamlessly raising it to create a sense of depth within the design. The easel is also positioned to suggest the viewer is the artist and creator of the finished landscape painting, where canvas effect technology mimics surface textures such as brushstrokes. A Paddle Awaits : The reverse of third coin (designed by same artist) is filled with all the warmth of a summer day, as it speaks of a personal connection with nature. The cottage setting is a familiar one to many Canadians; stretching across the entire reverse, the borderless background image creates the feeling of standing at the water's edge, looking out at a dock and the kayak that awaits a late afternoon excursion. While texturized color technology sets it apart from its surroundings, the easel-mounted canvas is positioned in a way that suggests the viewer is in fact the artist who has captured this idyllic setting on canvas. The use of canvas effect technology adds yet another touch of realism by re-creating the characteristic surface texture of a finished painting, such as the brushstrokes and the fibers of the canvas. 31.85 g x 3.
