Issued by Belgium in 1971 as part of the annual Kerstmis–Noël (Christmas) series, this 1F50 denomination stamp reproduces the famous biblical scene “The Flight into Egypt,” inspired by the work of Flemish master Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The design portrays the Virgin Mary and Child travelling through a detailed rural landscape, reflecting classical Flemish Renaissance artistry. Belgian Christmas issues are highly appreciated among thematic collectors of religion, fine art, and European cultural heritage. The multilingual inscription highlights Belgium’s bilingual identity, adding postal and cultural significance. A desirable collectible for both Christmas and Old Masters art thematic collections.
