Polish Split Motive Landscape Postcards featuring Jolene layed side by side - the pictures show excerpts from the veduta "View of Warsaw from the side of Prague" by Venitian painter Benardo Bellotto

An extraordinary specialty even in Polish Postcard Flexis are the splitted versions, one of which is presented here.

The present set of two flexi postcards shows some excerpts of an extremely detailled landscape painting by Benardo Bellotto of the Polish city of Warsaw as seen from the side of Prague at around 1770. The original of this veduta is part of the Benardo Bellotto Collection of the Zamek Królewski, the Royal Castle Museum in Warsaw. At the time of the creation of this picture, the Royal Castle was inhabited by the last King of Poland Stanisław II Augustus, a great collector of exquisite works of art, who had recruited Bellotto to work on the castle. One result was the original painting that later made its way into the Royal Castle Museum Collection. A black and white etching of this motive, made in 1772, can be found at the Polish National Museum in Warsaw.

  • The postcards of a set regularly feature the same song on the pictured front.
  • The back of the two cards here is also identical and - unlike the front picture -
the landscape prints on the lower parts do not consist of different excerpts from the original veduta.

JOLENE
SISTERS OF MERCY
  • Most of the other notes on the back of the postcards come in Polish and French language:

The creator of the original picture, Bernardo Bellotto (Canaletto the Younger), should not be mixed up with his uncle and teacher Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto) who was the first to be known under the mononym "Canaletto" and named so because a) he was the son of the Italian painter Bernardo Canal, i.e. the "little Canal", and also due to the fact b) that his oeuvre - apart from various London scenes, where he lived for some years - consisted widely of vedute showing his birthtown Venice with its plenty canals. His nephew Bernardo Bellotto followed the footsteps of his uncle and also started using his name "Canaletto", though his work is focussed mainly on Rome, Dresden, Vienna and Warsaw.
