The special postage stamp shows the "Nativity". A picture that can be admired in the former collegiate church of Baumgartenberg in Upper Austria. The founding year of this Cistercian abbey is 6 May 1141. The original Romanesque-Gothic building underwent a Baroque style in the 17th century. Most of the 115 colorful frescoes date from around 1696/99. Due to the abolition of the monastery by Emperor Joseph II, the documentary sources were lost, so that the proof of the artists working here is not clearly possible. However, the Grabenberger brothers are taken from and by Krems as the creators of the frescoes in the collegiate church. The painting "The Birth of Christ", probably by Giacomo Antonio, shows the Holy Family in the middle; Mary's thoughtful look shows concern for the divine child.
