Comment

Tom Thomson (1877-1917) played an important role in the history of Canadian art. He is considered one of the most popular and influential artists of the early twentieth century. Thomson brought a dynamic spirit to his work, and nature was always his muse. He encouraged other painters to join him in capturing the rugged beauty of the Canadian landscape on canvas, a profound source of inspiration that eventually led to the formation of the famous Group of Seven.

With their characteristic brushstrokes and vivid colors, the oil paintings of Canadian artist Tom Thomson have transformed the perception of Canadian northern landscapes, both at home and abroad. The Royal Canadian Mint pays tribute to one of Canada's most influential artists of the early twentieth century by reproducing the famous painting Débâcle (1916).

Tom Thomson (1877–1917) a joué un rôle important dans l'histoire de l'art canadien. Il est considéré comme l'un des artistes les plus populaires et les plus influents du début du vingtième siècle. Thomson a insufflé un esprit dynamique à son œuvre, et la nature a toujours été sa muse. Il a encouragé d'autres artistes peintres à se joindre à lui pour coucher sur leurs toiles la beauté sauvage des paysages canadiens, source profonde d'inspiration qui finit par mener à la formation du célèbre Groupe des Sept.

Grâce à des coups de pinceau et des couleurs vives caractéristiques, les peintures à l'huile de l'artiste canadien Tom Thomson ont transformé la perception des paysages nordiques canadiens, ici et à l'étranger. La Monnaie royale canadienne rend hommage à l'un des artistes les plus influents du début du vingtième siècle au Canada en reproduisant la célèbre toile Débâcle (1916).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2015 Canadian $20 Silver Elizabeth II (Spring Ice) coin is that it features a unique combination of silver and gold plating. The coin is made of 99.99% pure silver, but it also has selective gold plating on certain design elements, such as the queen's crown and the maple leaves. This creates a striking contrast between the silver and gold parts of the coin, making it a truly eye-catching piece.
