This beautiful postcard arrived from the USA and shows teh oil painting “Dapnhe and Chloe” by the american painter Elizabeth Jane Gardner.
Elizabeth Jane Gardner (October 4, 1837 – January 28, 1922) was an American academic and salon painter, who was born in Exeter, New Hampshire. She was an American expatriate who died in Paris where she had lived most of her life. She studied in Paris under William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905), who she married in 1896. She adopted his subjects, compositions and even his smooth facture, adopted them so successfully that some of her work might be mistaken for his. In fact, she has been quoted as saying, “I know I am censured for not more boldly asserting my individuality, but I would rather be known as the best imitator of Bouguereau than be nobody!”
Thank you very much Elizabeth!

This postcard came from Russia and is related with the 2014 Winter Olympics Games, that will be celebrated from 7 to 23 February 2014 in Sochi, Russia, with some events held in the resort town of Krasnaya Polyana.
Sochi was selected as the host city on 4 July 2007 during the 119th IOC Session in Guatemala City, defeating bids from Salzburg, Austria; and Pyeongchang, South Korea. The Sochi Olympics are the first Winter Olympics (and first Olympics altogether) for the Russian Federation, as the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow were in the Soviet Union.

The postcard shows the painting “La Toilette” of Toulouse-Lautrec, (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 1800s yielded a collection of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec, along with Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin, are among the most well-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period.
I really love postcards of art and illustration,
so thank you very much Hepman!
