This Vatican City 100 Lire commemorative stamp honors St. Vincent de Paul (1581–1660) and St. Louise de Marillac (1591–1660), co-founders of the Daughters of Charity. Issued in 1960, the stamp marks the tricentennial of their death, depicted here in a warm sepia-brown engraving showing the two saints engaged in charitable service. The snowy background and Renaissance-style architecture add depth to the theme of compassion and Christian charity. A beautifully detailed religious issue, it remains a desirable piece for Vatican, Catholic saints, and Christian iconography collections.
