Comment

This collection is the third issue of a collection of coins called "Treasures of Spanish Museums." In the coins that make up this series, emblematic pieces of the Museums of our country are reproduced. This III Series is composed of five coins that recreate, each one of them, works by the artists Goya, Velázquez, Arcimboldo, Rubens, Tintoretto and Madrazo.

Sir Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens's highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.

Interesting fact

The 10 Euro Peter Paul Rubens coin from Spain, made of Silver (.925) and weighing 27g, features a unique design that showcases the artwork of the famous Flemish painter, Peter Paul Rubens. The coin's design includes a reproduction of Rubens' famous painting, "The Descent from the Cross," which is considered one of his most powerful and emotive works. This coin is not only a beautiful collector's item but also a tribute to Rubens' artistic legacy.
