It is a good example of the fine details, which characterise Duccio's paintings, of the sweetness of his faces, and of the beauty and poetry of what he left us.
I hope you enjoyed as much as I did when I found it!

Curiosities on Duccio di Buoninsegna
I was looking for some info on this fabulous Sienese artist of the 13th and 14th century, when I found this little rarity, which stamp collectioners might know about already. It is a stamp that Poste Italiane (the Italian post), issued in 2003, the year of Duccio's great exhibition in the Spedale Santa Maria della Scala in Siena.
It is a good example of the fine details, which characterise Duccio's paintings, of the sweetness of his faces, and of the beauty and poetry of what he left us.
I hope you enjoyed as much as I did when I found it!
