Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly the Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is the Main Topic of this Release, as it will be of the whole Stamps of this Permanent series.

Then, the Personalityof José Artigasalso could be included in wider Topics as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Finally, surrounding the Personalityof  José Artigassome Topics arises. The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militariais another topic directly associated with this issue.

Then, the desing of the Issue is very simple so only the Portraittype of Painting Art Topic is added, as all the stamps from the Permanent Series will have the portrait with a Close-upof the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes.

The difference between the stamps of this Permanent Serieswill be only the Facial Value and the Colourin which the Portrait of Artigasis printed. In this case the Facial value is 10 UYP, and the Colourselected for this Stamp is Plnk.
