Paul Floras picture "Flying Harlequin" adorns this special postage stamp. As one of the most famous contemporary artists in Austria, he has made the fantastic, romantic side of life the content of his work. The "Flying Harlequin" reflects the hustle and bustle of the Venice Carnival and at the same time the atmosphere of this city. The artist, born in 1922, has always gone his own way when it came to the realization of his favorite motifs. Especially the figures of the Commedia dell'arte, which still today transform Venice into a city of the light at the time of the Carnival, inspired the imagination of the artist. The flight into the illusory world of the fantastical figures in tense relation to the atmospheric changes of the city in the different seasons give a colorful framework for the motives, which Flora follows in the smallest detail.
