SAMAL JOENSEN-MIKINES painting THE FAREWELL

Post by aukepalmhof » Sun Dec 17, 2017 8:11 pm

The Faroe Islands issued in 1991 a set of stamps to honour the Faroese painter Samal Joenson-Mikines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1ma ... en-Mikines

Most of his works are sombre, expressing his fixation with death a suffering after a series of personal tragedies. One of this set of stamps has a maritime theme, the painting “The Farewell” which shows us the mailboat leaving the quay with in the foreground wife’s of the men leaving. The painting was made in 1955 and is now in the Faroe Island Art Museum, Torshavn.
