Estonia: Paintings - "Danse Macabre" by Bernt Notke

"Danse Macabre" is a painting by Bernt Notke. A fragment of the late fifteenth-century painting, originally some 30 meters (98.4 ft) wide, is displayed in the St. Nicholas Church, Tallinn. It is regarded as the best-known and as one of the most valuable medieval artworks in Estonia. As the painting, this stamp also got a very high face value of 6,00 EUR ($6,38). It's also quite large, with a size of 30,0mm x 141,00 mm.
