Cardsharps, Caravaggio, ca. 1594
Cardsharps is a famous 16th century oil painting by Caravaggio (1573 - 1610), circa 1594. This painting was lost for almost a century and is now on display at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. From the original owner, Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, it entered Barberini collection in Rome, and was passed through the Colonna-Sciarra family. It eventually disappeared in the 1890's and was finally rediscovered in 1987, within a private European collection.
