EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Laureus Alexander's "Card Players" painted in 1815. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 53.5x75 cm and is currently housed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. With its Finnish origin, this artwork holds a special place in Scandinavian art history. The scene depicted captures an intimate moment of leisure and camaraderie among men. Set against a dark backdrop, illuminated only by candlelight, the card players are engrossed in their game. Their hats add to the mysterious ambiance while the arches and vaulted ceiling create a sense of depth within the composition. As smoke swirls from their pipes, these companions engage in friendly competition around a table covered with cards. Chiaroscuro techniques skillfully employ light and shadows to emphasize their concentration and intensity during play. This painting beautifully portrays not only the act of playing cards but also explores themes of friendship, intimacy, and relaxation. It invites viewers into this private world where time seems to stand still as they escape into an evening filled with gamesmanship. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this remarkable artwork for your enjoyment.
