Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), the famous Dutch painter of all times. Many of his paintings portray biblical scenes characterized by dramatic flashes of light, evoking moments of great emotion. One of his famous paintings, "The Jewish Bride" is the feature of one of the art medals in this set. On the medal reverse is another of Rembrandt's works, "David playing the Harp".

Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920), the Italian-Jewish painter and sculptor spent much of his short life in Paris. He painted his lover, Jeanne Hébuterne, many times, portraying her with an elongated neck, characteristic of his style. One of these paintings graces the face of one of the medals, while the reverse bears Modigliani's "Head" sculpture.

Camille Pissarro (1855-1903) was born into a Sephardic-French Jewish family and spent most of his life in Paris and its surroundings. He was a member of the Impressionist Movement and many of his works depict landscapes and rural life.
One of Pissarro's most famous works depicting a young woman bathing her feet in a stream is the feature on one of the medals. The reverse bears Pissarro's painting of "Boats".
