Welcome to Art History on
Stamps
|
|
a web site that describes the development of art history through times as illustrated on postage stamps, giving at the same time an overview of selected artists and their works representative for a given style. Although covering a large part of art history, this site does not pretend to be the ultimate guide to the subject matter, but it will -- hopefully -- give the collector an idea of how a collection could be organized. Art styles are included on the site in the measure stamps have been issued to illustrate them; click here for a complete listing of art styles.
