This 40 fillér stamp from Hungary features a reproduction of Giampietrino’s Renaissance painting Madonna and Child, titled in Hungarian as Mária a kis Jézussal. Issued by Magyar Posta, it highlights Hungary’s tradition of honoring classical religious art through postage. The stamp portrays the Virgin Mary in soft red and green robes, holding the infant Jesus in a tender, serene composition. Such issues were popular among collectors for their artistic and cultural value, often forming part of Hungary’s art-themed definitive and commemorative series of the 1960s.
