Stamp description

flourishing in Holland in the second half of the 17th century, the genre of landscape painting, Vedutismo, became very popular in Italy thanks to the elegant aristocrats of northern Europe who came to admire the evocative vestiges of the past and to learn about its culture, art and traditions.

Among the drawings kept in the Gallerie degli Uffizi, Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe (Florence), the stamps reproduce:
€ 0.95:  Francesco Guardi (1712-1793), View of Venice;
€ 1.00: Annibale Carracci (1560-1609), Study of Trees 1309E;
