DE LA TOUR [1593-1652]
Description
Viewers explore George De la Tour's seminal work The Cheat with the Ace of Diamonds. Three gamblers play a card game that resembles poker while a servant girl watches. The cheater, with an ace of spades hidden in his belt, looks at the audience directly; his face is illuminated. The painting was most often attributed to other artists, but Herman Voss confirmed its authenticity.
