Issued in 1979 by Posta Română for the SOCFILEX’79 philatelic exhibition, this 1.55 leu stamp reproduces “Scară cu flori” (“Staircase with Flowers”), a vibrant painting by renowned Romanian artist Ștefan Luchian (1868–1916). Luchian, often called the “Painter of Flowers,” is celebrated for his impressionistic mastery of color and light. The stamp captures his delicate portrayal of potted blooms arranged on a sunlit stone staircase — a tribute to nature’s harmony and Romanian artistic heritage. This issue honors both Romanian art and the cultural spirit of the late 19th century.
