New site about "Arts on Stamps"

If I can butt my ugly head in here,
and completely apart from the discussion,

You not only may, you are expected to ;-)

one of the "What I'd like to see" topics would be a
page on "drawings" in art.
Do we have such a thing?

Yes Sir.

I esp like images showing the draughtsmanship
of the early painters, Da Vinci etc.
Perhaps line and wash drawings like Tiepolo

Not impossible. Give me a few days :-)

Does "The rest on the flight into Egypt" (my fav)
appear on a stamp?

"The Flight into Egypt" yes, but ... ??? Any particular artist in mind?

(The feeling in the faces of the subjects pips the madonna smile imho)
I suppose the subject matter would be scarce on postage stamps.

Maybe, maybe not. I remember the Pilate-stamps, that virtually everybody
here gave thumb down. After all we did find some :-)

Fast on the draw Mette! (pun intended)

Yes,
"The Rest on the flight into Egypt" by Gian Battista Tiepolo
Hmmm I guess not then

I just checked my specialized art catalogue, but didn't find it listed.
That doesn't mean that it hasn't been issued on a stamp, only that it's not
listed in *my* cat that stops by the millennium (like my collections). In
the affirmative it should be listed later than 2000/2001.

Mette

Rodney:

I only know of 3 stamp sets showing Tiepolo works and none
are of this work.

(1) USA 1982 (CHRISTMAS) 20c Madonna - Scott 2026

(2) San Marino (10 Sept 1970) 3 stamps Scott 733-5
Lady and Mandolin, Lady and parrot, etc...

(3) Italy 1996 Scott 2067 1000 Lire Sarah and the Angel

Blair (TC)

Thanks Blair,
I wasn't aware of the US issue, and I should have that one.

I could not find the work in question even on the web!
so here it is from my well thumbed and old "pocket book" of art
(I would have loved to see this fellow in action)

Goodness Gracious
rather overwhelming.
When I did a spot search, I could hardly
believe the number of times "The flight into Egypt"
has been covered.
A lifetimes work there Mette

I didn't have the US issue, but the Cat showed a rather
typical format Madonna. I presume this to be perhaps his son.
I prefer Dad's bold and rapid brush strokes.

I hope I don't steal your thunder
I was searching for an article for Rene,
when I tripped over this.
It appears pen and ink drawings do appear on stamps.
(as you already knew

The paper scan came from a 4 page article in the Australian Stamp News 1991
on "Brueghel on stamps" penned by David Plummer.

The classical self-portrait. Thanks for reminding me Rodney. I think I
have it "somewhere". Brueghel was never my cup of tea, but I do all the
same have a nice small collection of Brueghel-stamps :-)
