The Traditional Christmas issue features the Perugino Madonna, which hangs in the National Gallery.
 
Pietro Perugino (1446-1524) was the leading artist of the Umbrian school, which developed qualities that found expression in the High Renaissance. Raphael, whose work has also graced Traditional Christmas stamp designs, was Perugino’s most famous pupil.
 
The contemporary stamp pictures a wintry village scene, and was issued in Snow Hill, Maryland. A small village that serves as the county seat of Worcester County, Snow Hill was also the setting for some scenes in the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere movie, Runaway Bride. The scenes at the baseball and football games were filmed behind Snow Hill High School.
