Comment
Rococo is a style of architecture and decoration originating in France in the 18th century as an evolution from Baroque. Characterised by a triumph of decoration, Rococo successfully combined the delicacy of composition with the brilliance of colours. The Macchiaioli, a group of Italian artists active in Tuscany in the second half of the 19th century, privilege an anti-academic pictorial style pursuing Verismo ideals and abolishing the use of geometric lines and dots to emphasise chiaroscuro and spots of colour or “macchie” in Italian, hence the name.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that blends elements of Rococo and Macchiaioli art styles, which are two distinct art movements that emerged in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Rococo style is characterized by its use of delicate, intricate patterns and ornamentation, while the Macchiaioli style is known for its use of bold, vibrant colors and its focus on depicting everyday life and landscapes. The combination of these two styles on the coin creates a visually striking and unique design that sets it apart from other coins.
