Sunday Stamps; Madonna with child

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is religious Christmas stamps.  For my contribution:  I may be bending the rules a bit, as I don't know if this stamp from Germany was issued as a Christmas stamp or not.  But it is of one the most famous Madonna and Child paintings out there.  Bonus:  it's an amazing mini-sheet.


A famous painting by Raphael, part of the High Renaissance in Italy.

    It certainly looks like a Christmas theme to me :)
    Raphael certainly liked painting Mary. I love the billowing robes in this one.
    Marry Christmas to you.

    I think it wasn't issued as a Christmas stamp. But it could have perfectly been!
    You're right: this is a wonderful mini-sheet.

    Raphael does religious scenes so well.
