Detail of The Fortune Teller by de La Tour in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2019
The Fortune-Teller, probably 1630s
Object Details
Artist: Georges de La Tour (French, Vic-sur-Seille 1593–1653 Lunéville)
Date: probably 1630s
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 40 1/8 x 48 5/8 in. (101.9 x 123.5 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1960
Accession Number: 60.30
This celebrated painting, which was only discovered in the middle of the twentieth century, catches the moment when a wealthy young man, distracted by having his fortune told by an old gyspy woman, is robbed by her companions. The costume and composition may have been influenced by a theatrical scene, but such cautionary images, made popular by Caravaggio, were painted throughout Europe in the seventeenth century. Although scholars have debated whether the artist had seen Caravaggio’s work in Rome, the inscription in the right corner includes the name of the town where the artist lived in northeastern France.
