On September 22, 2022, the USPS released the Virgin and Child Forever stamp in Boston, Massachusetts. This stamp features an oil-on-panel painting from the first half of the 16th century by an unidentified Florentine artist known as the Master of the Scandicci Lamentation. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary gazing downward at the infant Christ, one of her arms holding him protectively at his waist, the other tenderly touching his arm, while the Christ Child turns his head to look out of the frame to the left. This artwork is part of the Robert Dawson Evans Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp, which offers a traditional touch for cards and letters during the holiday season.
- Design: Oil-on-panel painting of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.
