This evocative pair from the 1990 Romanian issue “Tablouri împușcate” (“Shot Paintings”) commemorates artworks damaged during the 1989 Revolution. The 2 Lei stamp depicts “Safta florăreasa” by Ștefan Luchian, a tender portrait of a flower seller showing the mark of a bullet through the canvas. The 3 Lei stamp features “Vas cu flori” (“Vase with Flowers”) by Jan Brueghel, symbolizing cultural resilience through art. Issued by Poșta Română, these stamps memorialize Romania’s struggle for freedom and the survival of its artistic heritage.
