Aleksander Gierymski spent much of his career outside Poland — first in Munich, then Rome, then Paris — and died in Rome in 1901, impoverished and suffering from severe mental illness. His reputation inside Poland was largely reconstructed posthumously. This coin was issued as part of NBP's long-running "History of Polish Painting" series, which used Nordic gold circulation-quality pieces to bring canonical figures of Polish art to a mass audience rather than limiting them to precious-metal collector issues.
Several of Gierymski's major canvases were looted during World War II and have never been recovered.
