DAVO Theme Book 10 – Vincent van Gogh 1853-1890 with stamps

28,30

Never before has the fame of a painter been expressed with such emphasis in the Netherlands as through these thirteen stamps. Of course, Rembrandt, Vermeer and many other painters have been commemorated on postage stamps, and this was also the case with Van Gogh himself before (see the stamps with his biography on pages 8 and 9), but with this theme sheet Van Gogh acquires a leading position as these are painters commemorated on postage stamps. The Rembrandt stamps of 1930 are the first of many stamps issued by painters. The list of Dutch painters on stamps (see the register of the NVPH catalogue) is now quite extensive, including Appel, Van Gogh, Hals, Mondriaan, Ruisdael and Steen, who had the honor of being commemorated on stamps. It will come as no surprise to anyone that the 17th century is by far the best represented: both due to the number of artists and the quality of the work of many of them, this period is the pinnacle of Dutch painting.
