Franz Marc death anniversary cover

On Monday I got not only eleven postcards but also three covers including one from Germany.

Stamps:
100 years Der Blaue Reiter (issued 09-02-2012)
The stamp shows Franz Marc's famous painting Blue Horse I.
Centenary of World War I (issued 07-08-2014)
with a special postmark about the 100th anniversary of Franz Marc's death

Franz Marc was born in 1880 in Munich and was one of the most important German painters of the Expressionism. He was also a member of Der Blaue Reiter. When the World War I started in 1914, Franz Marc was drafted for military service. On 4th March 1916 he was killed at the Western Front.
