COINS DECORATED WITH POLISH AMBER – THE GOLD OF THE BALTIC SEA

Gustav Klimt has forever entered the pantheon of the world's most outstanding artists thanks to his innovative, original style. Painting "Dancer", one of the last works of the artist, was completed shortly before his death in 1918. The piece is made in oriental style, with an extraordinary dose of sensuality. The painting depicts a young woman holding a bouquet of light yellow daffodils in her hand. Who was she? Despite the existence of a number of hypotheses, we will never know. "Dancer" is a somewhat forgotten, but flawless reflection of the style, worldview and talent of this artist.
