First of all, I would like to thank all the people who made it possible that I have more than 50 postcards now! Great job and keep sending postcards.
Secondly, this is absolutely a postcard which I don't like at all, I am not an art fan, but I will upload it anyways. But please keep in mind not to send me art cards.
Thirdly, it is really difficult to find out something about this postcard, but I can give you some informations about the painter and some key facts about the picture.
The painter Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) also was a Russian writer, archaeologist, thesophist, enlightener philosopher and public figure. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia to the family of a well-to-do notary public, he lived around the world until his death in Naggar, India. Trained as an artist and a lawyer, his interests lay in literature, philosophy, archaeology and especially art. Roerich was a dedicated activist for the cause of preserving art and architecture in times of war. He earned several nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The so-called Roerich Pact was signed into law by the United States and most member nations of the Pan-American Union in April 1935.
This painting from Nicholas Roerich was painted in 1903. It has a size of 165 x 270 cm and is shown in the Russian city "Omsk" in the Omsk Regional Fine Arts Museum of M.A. Vrubel
