Description: | Highly regarded at the beginning of the seventeenth century, Manfredi was strongly influenced by Caravaggio. The present work, by an unknown artist close to Manfredi, reinterprets Caravaggio's style in a tavern scene, a subject which Caravaggio himself did not paint. The painting appears to be related to an engraving of the same subject by Crispin van de Passe I, after Baburen's Backgammon Players (Stichting Wagner-de-With, The Hague). The resemblance is particularly strong in the figure with his back to the viewer in the right foreground, who leads the eye into the painting. | Subjects: | interior; figure; everyday life (tavern) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Manfredi, Bartolomeo (Italian painter, ca. 1582-1622) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8909... | Go to resource |
