These cards feature art by Jean-Baptiste Morlet. I really love the use of color in these paintings, especially the contrast between the fire and the skirts of the peasant women in the second image.

I own several postcards of Jean-Baptiste Morlet. I love his nervous and spontaneous sketching technic, depicting the Parisians during the French Revolution, the realism of the subjet and the bright colors. My uncle bought them at a flee market in Paris and his wife just gave them to me this summer!
