This elegant pair of Greek stamps honors two masters of modern Greek art — Georgios Jakobides (1853–1932) and Nikiforos Lytras (1832–1904). Both were leading figures of the Munich School, a movement that shaped 19th-century Greek painting with its blend of realism and academic technique. The portraits, finely engraved in subdued sepia and brown tones, capture their distinguished presence and artistic gravitas. Issued by Greece (ΕΛΛΑΣ), these stamps celebrate the nation’s cultural revival and artistic identity in the modern era.
