The designs feature prominent works by Czech and European artists, including Peter Brandl's 'Simeon with the Infant Jesus' and Jan Kupecký's 'Self-Portrait'. The stamps are renowned for their high-quality multicolor photogravure printing, which beautifully reproduces the detail and color of the original paintings.

Issued in 1970, this set reflects Czechoslovakia's rich cultural heritage and its efforts to promote national art institutions during the Normalization period following the Prague Spring.
