The 2019 Belgium 2 euro commemorative coin honours the life and legacy of the renowned Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, marking the 450th anniversary of his death. The national side features a portrait of the artist, captured in profile, with his name inscribed alongside the years 1569 and 2019. Behind the portrait, a small scene evokes the intricate, bustling landscapes and peasant life characteristic of his celebrated masterpieces. By highlighting this influential figure, the design celebrates Belgium's rich cultural heritage and its significant contribution to European art history. His works remain central to the national identity, reflecting the complex social fabric of the sixteenth-century Low Countries. This coin was issued in 2019 with a mintage of 150,000 pieces.
