Issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1980, this 40 Pfennig commemorative stamp honors Albrecht Altdorfer (1480–1538), a leading figure of the Danube School and a pioneer of pure landscape art. The design features a finely detailed reproduction of one of his intricate landscape engravings, showing a serene countryside scene with trees, hills, and a distant medieval town. Printed in delicate monochrome lines, the artwork reflects Altdorfer’s mastery of depth and perspective, celebrating his contribution to Renaissance art in Germany. A must-have for collectors interested in European art history and engraved stamp design.
