<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny1234, post: 10231817, member: 82607&quot;]I think my remake is better than the original, assuming that the actual originator was Alfons spring.&nbsp; The other copy you showed is horrible.&nbsp; Not sure why it would be called the &quot;Fortune Teller.&quot;&nbsp; The painting depicts a gambling scene where the dealer reveals a card that makes the three others lose a lot of money.&nbsp; The slanted bird cage signifies the chaos of gambling, the religious icons signify the immorality of gambling.&nbsp; like an allegory.</p><p><br /></p><p>So i guess back then they mass copied others&#039; artworks with misleading attributions, to sell them for people to decorate their bathrooms, the way Bed Bath and Beyond might sell a made-in-china oil painting for cheap.&nbsp; Fortunately I only paid about $100 per painting, &quot;ohne rahmen.&quot;&nbsp; But they are very high quality paintings with a fine esthetic effect, even though they are copies or pseudo-copies.&nbsp; good esthetic feel or eye candy.&nbsp; But attribution to a specific &quot;Reinhold&quot; is clearly a misattribution, as your brilliant sleuthing shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
