Issued in 1976, this Belgian 6.50 Francs stamp honors the Fondation Charles Plisnier, celebrating the legacy of Belgian writer Charles Plisnier (1896–1952). The design features a striking engraving after a landscape by Joachim Patinir, a 16th-century Flemish Renaissance painter known for his detailed panoramic scenes. The stamp’s monochrome composition captures Patinir’s dramatic rock formations, serene villages, and contemplative atmosphere—hallmarks of Northern Renaissance artistry. A fine tribute to both Belgian art and literature, it reflects the country's tradition of cultural patronage and fine engraving.
