Hungary – Luxembourg

100 years of diplomatic relationship between Hungary and Luxembourg were celebrated on March 12, 2024 with a joint souvenir sheet. These commemorative items feature two paintings by Mihály Munkácsy (1844-1900), one of Hungary, Dusty Country Road II (after 1874), and another of Luxembourg, Grazing Cattle Herd (1882), in recognition of the fact that the world-famous artist is one of the closest cultural ties between the two countries. Munkácsy’s wife was Cecile Papier from Luxembourg, with whom he lived near the Belgian border at Château de Colpach in Luxembourg.
