Stamp Title: Paintings (Jointly Issued by China and Liechtenstein)
The paintings Magnolia Flowers and Flower Vase in a window Niche, both from the 17th century, are in the Palace Museum of China and the Liechtenstein Museum respectively. Mognolia Flowers is a representative work of Chen Hongshou, a Ming-dynasty artist in China, in his later life, which features neat and ingenuous strokes, talented composition and bright colors. Flower Vase in a Window Niche by Ambrosius Bosschaert, a well-known still-life painter from Europe, shows flowers of different seasons in full blossom. He displayed the ideal condition of flowers and opened a new era of paintings of flowers and plants. The two paintings used in the stamp design, which are both rare cultural treasures, show the different traditions and cultures of the Eastern and Western civilizations.
