This year’s set of Christmas stamps has details of three nativity paintings in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta. The e0.19 stamp reproduces a painting by Francesco Trevisani (1656-1746) – “Madonna and Child with infant St John the Baptist”.

The second stamp, e0.26, is a nativity panel by Maestro Alberto (15th century, Northern Italian).

The painting on the e0.37 stamp entitled “Virgin and Child with Infant St John the Baptist” was painted by Carlo Maratta (1625-1713).
