The virtual stamp event can be viewed on the Postal Service Facebook and Twitter pages.<\/p>\n<p>The painting &#8220;Our Lady of Gu\u00e1pulo&#8221; was created in the 18th century by an unknown artist in Cuzco, <span class=\"xn-location\">Peru<\/span>, the former capital of the Inca Empire. Historians characterize the artists at this time as members of the Cuzco school. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, European painters worked with indigenous artists in and around Cuzco. The Europeans trained local artists in styles and forms that dominated European countries at the end of the Renaissance period and during the Baroque era.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our Lady of Gu\u00e1pulo&#8221; reflects a local variant of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Extremadura, <span class=\"xn-location\">Spain<\/span>. The figure venerated as Our Lady of Gu\u00e1pulo originated as a sculpture, commissioned in <span class=\"xn-location\">Quito, Ecuador<\/span>, in 1584 and transferred to a chapel in the nearby village of Gu\u00e1pulo in 1587. Closely resembling the Spanish holy image from which she originated, the statue was credited with many miracles. Represented by many artists since then, she is often portrayed dressed in an ornate, pyramidal robe fastened with a rosary, holding a flowered scepter in one hand and the Christ Child in the other.<\/p>\n<p>Art Director <span class=\"xn-person\">Greg Breeding<\/span> designed the stamp. <\/p>\n<p>The stamps are being issued as Forever stamps, which will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1\u2013ounce price. <\/p>\n<p>A pictorial postmark of the First Day of Issue location, <span class=\"xn-location\">New York City<\/span>, is available at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=2190702272&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usps.com%2Fshopstamps&amp;a=usps.com%2Fshopstamps\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i>usps.com\/shopstamps<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Postal Products <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Customers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through the Postal Store at <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=2190702272&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usps.com%2Fshopstamps&amp;a=usps.com%2Fshopstamps\" rel=\"nofollow\">usps.com\/shopstamps<\/a><\/u><\/i>, by calling 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724), by mail through <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=2820054516&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.usps.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fstamp-collectors%2Fusa-philatelic-P_012007&amp;a=USA+Philatelic\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span> Philatelic<\/a><\/u><\/i>, or at Post Office locations nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.<\/p>\n<p><b>Please Note:<\/b>\u00a0For U.S. Postal Service media resources, including broadcast-quality video and audio and photo stills, visit the <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=428965600&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fabout.usps.com%2Fnews%2Fwelcome.htm&amp;a=USPS+Newsroom\" rel=\"nofollow\">USPS Newsroom<\/a><\/u>.<\/i> Follow us on <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=789251162&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fusps&amp;a=Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a><\/u>,<u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=3394448283&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fuspostalservice&amp;a=%C2%A0Instagram\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u00a0Instagram<\/a><\/u>, <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=511590653&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fuspsstamps&amp;a=Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pinterest<\/a><\/u><\/i> and <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=83378163&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fusps&amp;a=LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/u>.<\/i> Subscribe to the <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=4066018716&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2Fuspstv%2Fcustom&amp;a=USPS+YouTube+channel\" rel=\"nofollow\">USPS YouTube channel<\/a><\/u>,<\/i> like us on <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=4031370723&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fusps&amp;a=Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a><\/u> <\/i>and enjoy our<i> <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2955216-1&amp;h=2410253708&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uspsblog.com%2F&amp;a=Postal+Posts+blog\" rel=\"nofollow\">Postal Posts blog<\/a><\/u><\/i>.
