The Card Players
The card players is an oil on canvas painting dating from 2003. It was painted by the famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero , born in 1931 and one of the most respected painters and sculptors of his generation.

The scene takes place in a green room lit by a light bulb. There is a small table in the middle and two large stone-faced men are depicted playing cards. They are facing each other and seen in profile, both looking down at their cards; they are totally and intensely absorbed in the game.
The man sitting on the left has a round face and is wearing a brown jacket with papers in his pocket. He has a brown hat on. The man on the left looks like him but has a small moustache and is smoking a cigarette. He is sitting on a card which suggests that he has probably been cheating.

The tense atmosphere of concentration and solemnity is accentuated by the numerous cigarette butts on the floor.

As always in his paintings and sculptures, Botero depicts characters with exaggerated proportions suggesting sensuality and celebrating life, which is emphasized by the use of bright colors. This painting is a parody of Cezanne‘s series of paintings “the card players” and an homage to Latin American folk art.
