Description

This monochrome pad is a tribute to the author of the Aeneid. The graphic design by the renowned sculptor and graphic artist Emilio Greco is kept in a raw, black-and-white style, reminiscent of precise pen drawing or engraving. At the bottom is the famous Latin phrase: "CECINI PASCUA RURA DUCES" (I sang of pastures, fields and leaders), which briefly summarises Virgil's three most important works: the Bucolics, the Georgics and the Aeneid.

Skład Bloczka (Sceny na znaczkach):

  • 300 San Marino: A figure playing the flute – a symbol of pastoral poetry (Bucolics).

  • 550 San Marino: Portrait of a Roman commander wearing a helmet – a reference to Rome's national epic (the Aeneid).

  • 1500 San Marino: A shepherd carrying a lamb on his shoulders – an agricultural and pastoral motif (Georgics).


Why is this block a must-have for collectors?

  • Artistic Minimalism: A rare, clean graphic form that stands out from the colorful broadcasts of that period.

  • Master Workshop: A design by Emilio Greco, one of the most important Italian artists of the 20th century.

  • Swiss Printing Precision: The Courvoisier printing house is renowned for the highest quality of its philatelic products.

  • Cultural Topics: Ideal for collectors of literary, historical, and classical art themes.
