Your answer was: All of the above. |
Answer: Answer: All of the above The images on the stamps differ because nobody knows exactly what he looked like. That is because no portrait exists for sure that was made by someone who actually knew Serra personally. I call the picture shown on most of these stamps the “Hispanic Friar Tuck” Serra. There is another portrait that has never appeared on a stamp that shows a man with thin, rugged features of a Spaniard on the frontier that might have been done by an artist who knew friends of Serra who could have helped him with the portrait. But nobody knows for sure. What is certain, however, is that the portrait on the Mexican stamp below is a mistake. It shows Fr. Francisco Palou, a colleague of Serra.
