Cameroon – 2025 – 500 Francs – Storm (Józef Chełmoński masterpieces)

Description

The latest issue in the series dedicated to the art of Józef Chełmoński,
master of Polish realism. One of his most dramatic works comes to life on a silver
coin, in which the artist masterfully captured the moment a violent storm surprises
shepherds and a herd of cattle in an open field. The entire composition is bursting
with tension and dynamism, and thanks to precise digital printing, it has been possible
to render the sheer power of the elements that is the essence of this painting’s strength.
“Józef Chełmoński only sees what is,
and gives it to us in a perfect form.”
Stanisław “Witkacy” Witkiewicz
