In the United States, annual discord over "secular" versus "religious" designs was resolved by issuing some of each; typically a group of 4-6 related secular designs, plus a Madonna and Child design.
The traditional stamps usually picture a classic painting of the Madonna and Child as exhibited in a U.S. museum. The 1999 stamp, for example, shows Bartolomeo Vivarini's Madonna and Child from the National Gallery of Art.
