2 Euro – Art Nouveau Belgium 2023

2 Euro – Art Nouveau Belgium 2023. A detail of the facade of the ‘House of Eetvelde’ in Brussels, designed by the Belgian Art Nouveau artist Victor Horta, inspired this commemorative 2 euro coin. The exquisite building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of Belgian Art Nouveau, renowned well beyond its borders through its representatives and has influenced the movement across Europe. The detail depicted on the coin is located on the exterior facade between two floors filled with stained glass. It serves as a connection between the floors and expands the view. Moreover, Art Nouveau is more than just a movement in architecture; it is a comprehensive art form that extends to decorative elements where the whole always comes first. The design itself allows the typical Art Nouveau asymmetric composition to speak for itself. The elegant interplay of lines forms a clear connection with nature. Designer Iris Bruijns.
