# Card Players [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VOS, Cornelis de]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary The genre paintings of Cornelis de Vos resemble the Caravaggio-influenced compositions of his contemporaries and pupils like Jan Cossiers, Simon de Vos and Theodor Rombouts. An example is the Card Players, which depicts players at a card game, a theme which was very popular with the Flemish followers of Caravaggio. The composition is also known through an <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/v/voet\_a/cardplay.html'\)" href="/html/v/voet\_a/cardplay.html">engraving made by Alexander Voet</a> in the 1630s, which clearly identifies Cornelis de Vos as the author of the original painting. ## Related artworks - [Abraham Grapheus]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Allegory of Transience]() - [Apollo and the Python]() - [Birth of Venus]() - [Elisabeth \(or Cornelia\) Vekemans as a Young Girl]() - [Family Portrait]() - [Magdalena and Jan-Baptist de Vos]() - [Players and Courtesans under a Tent]() - [Portrait of a Boy]() - [Portrait of a Girl at the Age of 10]() - [Portrait of a Lady in Elegant Dress]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
