'130th Anniv of the Birth of Marc Chagall Stained Glass' - France, 2017



1- Marc Chagall Stained Glass minisheet from Paris to China, posted on Jan 13th, 2017, the first day of issue. Thank you Mz. Guo! Two additional stamps feature 'The Couple of the Eiffel Tower' issued in 1963 and another stained window stamps by Chagall issued by LaPoste.
2- The same minisheet, with a philatelic postmark, posted on Aug 14th, 2017. Thank you, Dousset!

Marc Chagall is one of my favorite artists, whose imagination and mastering of color are uniquely intriguing. I like him so much that I use one of his stained windows picture as my Wechat avatar. Several other countries also issued Chagall stained windows stamps, including Israel  and United Nations (apart from commercial stamps).
