Issued by Spain in 1981 as part of the annual Navidad (Christmas) series, this 12 Pesetas stamp reproduces the Renaissance painting La Adoración de los Reyes housed in Cervera de Pisuerga, Palencia. The design reflects Spain’s long tradition of combining religious heritage with fine art in philatelic issues. Printed by FNMT, the stamp features rich tonal detailing characteristic of Spanish art reproductions of the period. Christmas thematic issues from Spain remain popular among collectors of religious art, Nativity themes, and European festive commemoratives.
