The Card Game, c. 1738-1750
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Italian artist Ceruti, also known as Il Pitocchetto. This remarkable piece of art, measuring 72.4x103.5 cm, can be found at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The scene depicted in this painting transports us back to a time when card games were not only a popular form of entertainment but also an opportunity for social interaction and camaraderie. A group of elegantly dressed figures gathers around a table, engrossed in their game while enjoying each other's company. The composition exudes an air of sophistication and leisurely pleasure with its rich color palette and meticulous attention to detail. The characters are beautifully rendered, showcasing Ceruti's mastery in capturing human expressions and gestures. Notably, the presence of a cradle hints at domesticity within this lively gathering - perhaps symbolizing the passing down of traditions or the continuity of life amidst the pleasures enjoyed by these individuals. A faithful canine companion rests peacefully nearby as if partaking in the merriment unfolding before it. The inclusion of wine bottles suggests that indulgence is not limited to cards alone; it serves as another element enhancing the convivial atmosphere portrayed here. This print captures both the charm and cultural significance associated with card games during this period in European history. It stands as a testament to Ceruti's ability to immortalize moments brimming with life through his brushstrokes – inviting viewers into
