Madonna and Child by Bachiacca Stamps
Forever 78¢ | Booklet Stamp Format

Five centuries ago, Francesco d’Ubertino Verdi (1494–1557), the Italian Renaissance painter known as Bachiacca, proved himself to be a versatile and popular Florentine artist. Today, his work still vividly evokes the timeless traditions of Christmas.

This Christmas stamp features a detail of Bachiacca’s oil-and-gold-on-panel painting Madonna and Child, which dates from the early 1520s, showing the Christ child clutching a bouquet of jasmine, a symbol of divine love, alongside the Virgin Mary’s profile, left shoulder, and right hand.

The Madonna and Child by Bachiacca stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp in a double-sided booklet of 20. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
