Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly the Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is the Main Topic of this Release, as it will be of the whole Stamps of this Permanent series.

Then, the Personality of José Artigas also could be included in wider Topics as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Finally, surrounding the Personality of  José Artigas some Topics arises. The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Then, the desing of the Issue is very simple so only the Portrait type of Painting Art Topic is added, as all the stamps from the Permanent Series will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes.

The difference between the stamps of this Permanent Series will be only the Facial Value and the Colour in which the Portrait of Artigas is printed. In this case the Facial value is 10 UYP, and the Colour selected for this Stamp is Plnk.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.

Issue:

As Main Topic: The Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is clearly the main topic of the stamp, as it will be of the whole stamps of this permanent serie that will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of his Birth. The personality of José Artigas could be included in wider ones as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: It is clear that two topics emerges. The more clear one is the Portrait type of Painting Art, as all the stamps from the Permanent Serie will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes, accompanied by a quotation from him, so Quotations could be another topic too.

The difference between the stamps of this permanent serie will be, besides the facial value, the colour in which the portrait of Artigas and Quotation is presented, and also the quotation will differ from stamp to stamp. In this case the facial value is 1 UYP, the colour is Blue, and the Quotation is "Sean los orientales tan ilustrados como valientes", that could be translated in english to: "Be the Eastern (Uruguayan People) as learned as brave".

This quotation cames from the Inauguration of the National Library on May 26th of 1816, when Jose Gervasio Artigas, sensitive to the impact of this event in the creation of Uruguayan Nation, ordered that the Watchword of the Uruguayan Army was "Sean los orientales tan ilustrados como valientes".

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The selection of this particular one of the Artigas Quotations, clearly add a link to Culture, Education, Information, of course also Books, Literature, Libraries, and in particular The Uruguayan National Library.

Finally, it is very interesting how José Gervasio Artigas, at that time Leader of the Uruguayan Army, and in a way also Leader of all Uruguayans because of the turbuluent times in which this quotation was coined, could see The importance of have a Cultured People, not only a brave one. He believed in a Nation with people brave to fight, and also an even more important, Aware of why, for, and against whom, to Fight. He did not want a people of followers. He wanted a nation of fully conscious individuals.

Block:

The block: It neither add any other topic, nor reinforce existing ones, as it only shows the inks used in printing the block, and it not use any icon for this.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Adds the topic Maps, and more in particular Uruguayan Maps, because the First Day Cancelation shows the Map of Uruguay and the Date of Issue of the Release inside it, as it is happening with all the permanent series since 2012.

Issue:

As Main Topic: The Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is clearly the main topic of the stamp, as it will be of the whole stamps of this permanent serie that will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of his Birth. The personality of José Artigas could be included in wider ones as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervacio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: It is clear that two topics emerges. The more clear one is the Portrait type of Painting Art, as all the stamps from the Permanent Serie will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes, accompanied by a quotation from him, so Quotations could be another topic too.

The difference between the stamps of this permanent serie will be, besides the facial value, the colour in which the portrait of Artigas and Quotation is presented, and also the quotation will differ from stamp to stamp. In this case the facial value is 10 UYP, the colour is Green, and the Quotation is "Que los más infelices sean los más privilegiados", that could be translated in english to: "Make that the most unfortunate be the most privileged".

This quotation cames from the document: "Reglamento de Tierras de 1815", that in english means "Land Regulation of 1815", and the whole sprit of that document could be deducted from the quotation selected for the stamp, that is to bring Equality in the Land Ownership, through this Land Reform.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The selection of this particular one of the Artigas Quotations, reinforces the Topics of Equality, and makes a link with Socialism, and Left Wing Ideologies.

Block:

The block: It neither add any other topic, nor reinforce existing ones, as it only shows the inks used in printing the block, and it not use any icon for this.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Adds the topic Maps, and more in particular Uruguayan Maps, because the First Day Cancelation shows the Map of Uruguay and the Date of Issue of the Release inside it, as it is happening with all the permanent series since 2012.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.
