TREE OF LIFE – GOLDEN FIVE – GUSTAV KLIMT – 2018 $1 Pure Silver Coin – Mint of Poland – Niue

ARTIST BREAKING THE RULES, THE MOST PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE SECESSION MOVEMENT!

The first element of the series depicts the “Tree of Life”, a symbolic master- piece, one of the most recognizable paintings in the artistic legacy of Gustav Klimt. The canvas showcases the richness and complexity of life allegorically depicted as a mighty tree. The figures standing on its sides protect the tree; they are female guardians of the humankind.
