Description:

The stamp block was presented in 2021 on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the birth of the famous Ukrainian artist Ivan Miasoiedov. This is a joint issue of Ukraine and Liechtenstein, as the artist's career is inextricably linked to both countries. 

Ivan Miasoiedov was born in Kharkiv in 1881, attended an art school in Poltava and lived for some time in its picturesque suburb of Pavlenky. However, he spent a significant part of his life abroad, in various European capitals - Berlin, Brussels, and in the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein, Vaduz, under the name Ievhen Zotov, where he became a court artist and created portraits of members of the local princely house and sketches of postage stamps. 

The artist's oeuvre includes about 4 thousand works, including "The Argonauts Sail from the Shores of Greece to Colchis for the Golden Fleece," "Self-Portrait in Younger Years," "The Amazons," and others.
