Part of the 1982 French regional landscape series, this 1.90-franc stamp celebrates the dramatic coastal scenery of Corsica (Corse), depicting the world-famous Calanques de Piana. The design uses bold, stylized blocks of red rock framing a brilliant Mediterranean sunburst rendered in gradient blue, capturing the island’s rugged volcanic beauty. Created by Santarelli / Joumlet, the stamp exemplifies France’s early 1980s shift toward modern graphic landscape art within definitive-style issues. Highly desirable for collectors of European landscapes, French regional philately, and Mediterranean themes, this issue remains one of the most visually striking of the series.
