This striking 1995 Belgian stamp features a bold, modernist spiral serpent created by renowned Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky, a member of the CoBrA movement. The red-and-white serpent overlays an antique map of Belgium, merging contemporary expressionism with historical cartography. Issued as part of Belgium’s ongoing tribute to national artists, it showcases Alechinsky’s signature dynamic lines and playful, almost calligraphic energy. The denomination 16 appears within a stark black block that anchors the design. Highly collectible for its strong thematic crossover—modern art, maps, and Belgian heritage.
