Raphael Christmas Angel Postage Stamps - Raffaello
Angel (fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece) 1500-01
The face of an angel as only Raphael could paint it. I love the composition and the purity of line. Rich palette of Renaissance red and green balanced with black and white.
Perfect at Christmas time, beautiful and tasteful all year round.
Small size only, but the large and medium sizes are also available. Matching cards, note cards, postcards, stickers and more are available in my gallery's Angel Collection.
