DESIGN
This three-coin set is 99.99% pure silver, with a metal weight of 23.17 grams and a diameter of 36.07 millimetres. The reverse features an engraved detail from one of three famous works by Canadian artist Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945). A lone pine tree is the focal point of this recreation of Carmichael’s The Upper Ottawa, near Mattawa (c. 1924) oil painting, while the Ottawa River fills much of the background behind it. Another breathtaking vista can be viewed in the engraved reproduction of the watercolour Cranberry Lake (c. 1934) Gift of Mary Mastin, Toronto 1996; rolling hills that tower over the diminutive size of the village by the lake all convey the grandeur and openness of the landscape. Carmichael’s Landscape (c. 1925) – was created with linocut; a printmaking technique by which an image is carved in relief onto a sheet of linoleum that is inked then pressed onto paper. In the engraved detail from this print, the dark trees in the foreground contrast with the lighter ones behind them, creating layers and depth to this depiction of a mountainous landscape.
