EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Card Game" by Pieter van den Berge, we are transported back to a lively gaming den in the late 17th century. The scene is filled with men engrossed in their card games, surrounded by tables and the ambiance of a bustling pub. As we observe closely, one man catches our attention. With a sighing rummer in hand, his face reveals both frustration and determination. Is he on the verge of winning or losing? Only time will tell. The painting captures not only the intensity of gambling but also the social aspect of these gatherings. Men from different walks of life come together to test their luck and skill at various games and puzzles. A square full of enticing statements adds an air of excitement to the atmosphere. Amidst all this action, another intriguing element unfolds - dog fights and cock fighting take place in one corner of the room. This juxtaposition highlights both the vices and entertainment that were prevalent during that era. "The Card Game" is a remarkable piece that showcases Dutch artist Pieter van den Berge's talent for capturing human emotions amidst scenes filled with activity. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought out ways to challenge themselves while seeking fortune or simply enjoying each other's company over a game of cards
