Spain 1930 Goya Commemorative - The Nude Maja

Spain · 1930 · 10 Ptas

This stamp features a detailed engraving of "The Nude Maja" (La Maja Desnuda), one of the most famous and controversial paintings by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya. The stamp was part of a large set issued to commemorate the anniversary of Goya's death and to raise funds for a monument in his honor. The high denomination reflects its status as a key piece in the commemorative series.

Issued during the final years of King Alfonso XIII's reign, just before the establishment of the Second Spanish Republic, this set celebrated a national artistic icon. The inclusion of the Nude Maja was bold for its time and remains a classic of Spanish philately.
