I think with a Thread title of "Stamps that make you think", you may want to add a little more context, like
This stamp is of an XX nature. It really makes you think about YY and how ZZ could also be affected. Just my thoughts. |

The 1899 Anthony van Dyck stamp is a fine example for reflecting on talent and merit. Not being a monarch or a political figure, Mr. van Dyck, through his incredible painting talent alone, became so important that even King Charles I appointed him as the full-time artist of the royal court. He was later celebrated through this commemorative stamp and in many other ways. *** Edited by Staff - Self-promotion removed *** |

Your link shows as unsafe.
You, basically, described the circumstances for the vast majority of famous painters that were born before 1800.
Also, it is a Belgian cinderella and not a stamp. |

There is an Umlaut on that "O" and there is a UPU regulation on what stamps must include that applies to all countries but the UK.
Edit: reference to UPU regulation. |

Sometimes, you can find a set with and without. And no flag that gives a hint.  |
