Paintings on stamps is one of my favourite topics. One of my favourite stamps with a painting on it is:  It was painted by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis and is titled "Cemetary", and was painted in 1909.
Čiurlionis was a Lithuanian painter and composer who was born in 1875 and died in 1911 aged 35. |

 "Minnesänger I" from the "Manesse Manuscript of Songs",issued May 30th,1961. Scott forged this and the "Minnesänger II" set into one single set.Makes not much sence to me,as the third Minnesänger set is listed seperately. The scans do not show the gold print properly.The original stamps look much more vivid. |

Hi, my first post. My wife inherited a small collection so i thought i would post some images onto, hopefully the correct sub-forums, and get some sort of feedback so we can start to organise and prioritise what there is. Thank you for your patience  |

I always admired the fantastic work of Czeslaw Slania especially for the Swedish post . His engravings were fantastic . The 1000th stamp he produced was indeed a masterpiece Black and white proof :  The final issue  Which He Autographed at the HAFNIA 2000 Exhibition in Copenhagen  |

I especially like those UN stamps. Why do they issue stamps -- are they for diplomatic mail to member nations?

The League and other IOs definitely used their overprints on their official mail. But since 1951--when the UN started issuing its own designs--I don't have any official UN mail with cancelled UN stamps. But now you have me looking. |

In the U.S. they are good for postage if letters and other items franked with them are posted at the U.N. post office in NYC. NYC stamp dealers used to mail out their orders using UN postage that could be purchased well below face value. Presumably, correspondence from U.N. offices/departments uses U.N. postage.

Earlier last week, I was watching at cavern paintings like these in Ulldecona (Catalonia). It's not that far away from my home (about 200 km) but it's was the first time that I went there. They belong to the Mediterranean cave-painting style. Less detailed and colourful than the Spanish and French ones, but more dynamic and lively.

Yes, I do have the whole set on cards, postmarked at Barcelona's Picasso Museum, on the day of issue. But not all of them are proper maxi-cards, as two of them show pictures that are not in our Picasso museum. I'll scan when I have time. I'm afraid, that too soon!

To really appreciate these, I find that only scans that was made with a CCD type scanner do them justice. The cheaper/common CIS types scanners simply doesn't capture the "depth". This site: sellosyartistas.blogspot.comis filled with extremely high quality scans, including the original art. The artists are shown to the left. You can spend hours browsing through this. Stunning.   |
