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 AgustĂ­ 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 !
