About the Artwork – Bachiacca’s Renaissance Masterpiece

The 2018 USPS Madonna and Child Forever Stamp features a breathtaking detail from Bachiacca’s oil-and-gold-on-panel painting “Madonna and Child,” created in the early 1520s during the Italian Renaissance. The image shows the Christ child clutching a bouquet of jasmine alongside the Virgin Mary’s profile, left shoulder, and right hand.

Bachiacca (1494–1557), born Francesco d’Ubertino Verdi, was one of the leading Mannerist painters of 16th-century Florence. He trained under the legendary Pietro Perugino—also the teacher of Raphael—and later served as court painter under Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici.

Renowned for his extraordinarily precise depictions of plants and animals, Bachiacca wove rich symbolism into the painting’s floral details: the jasmine held by the Christ child represents the Virgin Mary (jasmine blooms in May, Mary’s month); the rose, cornflower, and sweetbriar each carry sacred meanings relating to Jesus and Mary.

Bachiacca’s unique style blended influences from Italian, German, and Netherlandish artistic traditions, producing works of remarkable detail, surreal elegance, and deep spiritual resonance—making this stamp a true collector’s treasure.
