B is for Bellas Artes

 Eva sent me this wonderful stamp of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid) - the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.

The Academy was founded in 1752 by Charles III.  The stamp was issued in 2023, and is part of a long-running museum series by Correos.
