Product Description
The coin in her palm, the hand slipping into his pocket, the companion waiting for the loot: cropped for drama. The crop is Neoclassical Pop Art's own, turning a French Baroque scene into a new oil. An oil that rewards close looking.
Neoclassical Pop Art's “Tour de La Tour” crops “The Fortune Teller” by Georges de La Tour (1630, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City) to the hands: the coin, the purse and the waiting accomplice, in contemporary colour.
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.
A collectible original artwork. Created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio as an original contemporary painting.
Baroque storytelling with a wink.
Made for true art lovers, it is a collectible statement piece where the old masters meet pop culture.
