Santa Cena

Orthodox Easter is very close now. Yesterday we celebrated Maundy Thursday so this card came quite in time, part of a specific forum RR exchange (Easter Cards - E56). The card shows one of Jaime Huguet's paintings called Santa Cena (or Last Supper). This was a part of an altarpiece, commissioned in the 15th century by the guild of tanners to be placed on the altar of the Augustinian friary of Sant Agustí Vell ("Old St Augustine") in Barcelona, Spain.
The stamps are Dutch, since the card was send from Netherlands.
The 2002 (ND) dark-rose shows a multiple NL text and have the value of 2 euro-cents.
The 2014 blue stamp shows one of Dutch symbols: a windmill, part of a bigger series similar to the one I've blogged about here.
The 2010 white stamp shows Middelburg buildings (part of Beautiful Netherland series) and have a value of 0,44 €.

Thank You Tobia !
