This Paraguayan commemorative stamp, denominated ₲0.75, was issued to mark the Centenary of the National Epic (1864–1870)—the War of the Triple Alliance. It reproduces “The Forge” (1817–1820), a masterpiece by Spanish painter Francisco de Goya, symbolizing human strength, resilience, and the dignity of labor. Printed by De La Rue de Colombia, the design resonates with Paraguay’s postwar recovery and national pride, linking artistic vigor with patriotic endurance. A fitting tribute merging art and history on a single miniature canvas.
