The 20t stamp depicts a detail from the Bottigella Altarpiece painted by Vincenzo Foppa.
Working in Milan, Foppa painted frescoes in the Portinari Chapel in S. Eustorgio (1468). Apart from his work in Milan, Foppa was active in Pavia and in Liguria and molded painting throughout north-western Lombardy. His style, influenced by Mantegna, combines grace and realism.
