Description
After Gaspard Traversi.
After climbing with pins, it's time for the descent. The contemplation of paintings presenting card players suggested to me a kind of slide which would materialize the trajectory of the card held in the raised hand until it is placed on the gaming table. This time the allegorical model of the viewer is initially jostled, and exposed in her inability to appreciate the vision of the paintings. Many genre scenes featuring card players show ambiguous relationships between men and women, some based on domination, at least through the gaze. After the pivot point of the fall, I propose the reconstruction of another look articulated to an evolution in the choice of paintings. As before, several evolutionary processes punctuate this sequence of 20 images; To you to discover them.
Thank you for the view and your comments.

I'm so glad to have time to get back to this, my dear. I had a little trouble finding the Traversi painting until I figured out his first name is spelled Gaspare and not Gaspard! XD I liked the painting which seems to be pitting men against women and an older and more experience woman is helping a younger woman determine which card to play. Our contemporary lady in the foreground, although still dismayed, is doing better with each picture. I love the elaborate clothing she is wearing although I suspect it is meant to convey the complicated requirements on women in terms of appearance and behavior to gain acceptance. Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy viewing!

I'm sorry for the first name, I tend to francize them. I actually chose this painting as a time when the women start to win out during the card game. Your reading of the garment is correct: it is both sumptuous and restrictive. I chose it to tip the young woman into another world, that of playing card characters.
