Product Description
Watch the hands. The Neoclassical Pop Art tribute brightens the French Baroque scene in Pop colour, making a new painting about an old swindle. A fortune is being told while a pocket is being picked, and this oil keeps the sly comedy with a contemporary edge.
“Tour de La Tour” is Neoclassical Pop Art's hand-painted Pop take on Georges de La Tour's “The Fortune Teller”, painted in 1630 and held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Pop colour sharpens the sly comedy: a fortune told, a pocket picked.
The painting portrays a sarcastic Northern European Gypsy theme drawn from Caravaggio, featuring gypsy women stereotyped as thieves.
An Old Gypsy woman reads a wealthy young man’s future. Engaged listening to her, all while she collects a payment coin from his hand, her beautiful companions take the opportunity to slide her hand into his pocket and rob him. Her companion in profile has a hand ready to receive the loot.
Your guests will look closely too.
A collectible original artwork. Created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio as an original contemporary painting. A collectible statement piece where the old masters meet pop culture, made for true art lovers.
