This was one of a set of stamps showing stamps by Jose de Ribera and depicts St John the Bapist.
My GB stamp this week was one of a set commemorating the London 2010 Festival of Stamps and the Centenary of the Accession of King George V.
For other shades of red just visit the links at Violet's Sunday-Stamps-ii-61.
